This is my mantra of late....the Naga chilli has a definite taste profile included in the heat, great choice imho.

[Food] Are vindaloos getting tamer? Or am I getting harder?

I think they probably have, but it's a good thing IMHO.
Vindaloo should have a unique taste because of the vinegar so you don't want to mask that with to much chili powder.
People are more savvy with their tastes these days, it's not enough anymore to just have a basic tomato based curry that makes your mouth burn - the comments about Naga attest to that - they're great because of the heat and flavor combo.

What is the point of a Korma? It's not really a curry. I find it completely tasteless without 50 grams of salt and pepper.
Madras is my favourite with the full works of Bombay potato, naan bread, poppadoms and mango chutney.
Vindaloo and phall from restaurants can be lethal in hotness although it's been months since we had a takeaway. Can't take risks with Covid-19.

strong and stable with me, or...
...he carved it himself, from a bigger spoon...
My old flat mate used to eat Phal's . . . He'd set himself up on the dining table with a pint of stella and a pint of milk . . . . Windows open and he'd hoe in, sweating like a Geordie in a spelling test. Quite funny to watch.
When he spilt some it stained through 2 table cloths and permantly stained an old oak table.

Girls curry. Not for men. Might as well go for a Thai.

Haha. I used to eat it at Uni (Newcastle
) until it gave me such bad stomach cramps that I was in pain for hours

Been up through the Curry levels to Phall in my younger days but not now, much prefer a nice Garlic Chicken Bhuna, with garlic rice, garlic naan and bombay potato's and sprout bhaji on the side. If I want something a bit spicier I cook it myself with nice fresh home grown chilli's so I can control the heat to what is comfortable.

Why oh why oh why?
Indian food generally gets hotter as you go south (in India!).
Korma is a north-Indian dish.
Vindaloo is from Goa in southwest India.
Madras is from, errr, Madras* in southeast India.
N.B almost every UK "Indian" restaurant is run/staffed by people from Pakistan or Bangladesh - i.e. north "India"
*Chennai, if you will...

I now know why HT took seat 1C on the plane yesterday, in case the vindaloo took its revenge, crawling distance of the trap in the sky.

Chicken tikka balti vindaloo hot.

I have changed this
Are you still in Germany? I have found that in Germany, spicy very rarely means spicy.. So, if in need of a proper vindaloo, the UK will help you decide if you are getting harder (oo-er) or not..
I've been to Chennai . . . . everything was too hot, O lived on garlic prawns, lentil dahl lager and gin & tonic for a month!

Oh god, don’t get me, or [MENTION=238]Uncle Buck[/MENTION] for that matter, started on German curries. Pathetic is being polite; a vindaloo will kill a German.
My thread relates to vindaloos in the U.K.

If there is a threat of heat they cover it in coconut.
India Club by the Adelon is the only decent one I have had in Berlin.

As an aside, the home grown scotch bonnet chills your Frau gave me have livened up my lunch time salad somewhat.

In Barcelona and had a chicken vindaloo. Tasty but not really fiery. I go into today with complete anal confidence.
Fiery food in Spain is rarer than an Albion clean sheet.
