You know that thing where you just get a chilli to the perfect, immaculate heat of hotness - and then add another handful of chillies, just because you can...?

Whereas I tend to think "yes, and then a few more to keep those company..."

Attaperson. They're really only happy in crowds, y'know. Hot and sweaty crowds.

It's the one thing I can't cook.
I'm heavy handed with curry powder but that's ok 'cause it's mild unfortunately my powers of chef don't comprehend that you don't put as much chilli in as curry powder.

Try using fresh chillies instead of powder. Start low, and taste after twenty minutes' simmering (bearing in mind that the liquid will always taste hotter than the whole dish once it's come together). You can always add more. I generally make a big pot at a sort of standard level of hotness, then either freeze it in portions or just reheat it day by day - and every time I reheat, I always add more chillies, so it's on a sort of escalating scale of vesuvius. Nom-nom-scorchio!

You know that thing...?

Nope. But I know the one where that's just the right amount of coffee in the filter, and then, well, maybe just a little more.

Indeed. I have drunk that coffee. (Tho' I should like to point out that I have never yet required you to eat this chilli...)
