This is the world's hottest curry, because it contains the world's hottest chile, the Bhut Jolokia or 'Ghost Chile', which is three times hotter than a habanero. This pan-Asian dish is not for the faint of heart. It is atomically spicy! Enjoy!

Time 2h5m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tomatoes, diced
¼ cup water
10 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 tablespoon salt
3 ghost chile peppers, stemmed and coarsely chopped (use gloves)
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground fenugreek
ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds cubed lamb
¼ cup clarified butter (ghee)
1 large onion, diced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Steps:

  • Place tomatoes, water, garlic, ginger, tomato puree, salt, ghost peppers, chili powder, garam masala, cumin, coriander, fenugreek, and black pepper into a blender and pulse several times to chop. Blend the ingredients until liquefied. Be careful, ghost chilies will burn eyes, mouth, or nose if touched.
  • Pour the blended mixture into a large bowl and stir in lamb to coat; let lamb marinate at least 1 hour in refrigerator.
  • Heat clarified butter in a large pan over medium-high heat and cook onion until lightly golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the lamb and marinade into the skillet and bring to a boil; cook and stir until sauce begins to thicken, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer until lamb is tender, about 20 more minutes. Garnish with cilantro to serve.

This phaal curry was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very flavorful. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.
