That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy my phaall curry recipe. This one will really spice you up! I’d love to hear how it turned out for you. Keep it spicy! This is a recipe for true spicy food lovers, so be warned. However, I discuss how you can lower that heat a bit in the Recipe Tips & Notes section below. And also how to make it even hotter! But first… It is often made with fiery habanero peppers or scotch bonnet peppers, though many restaurants are now making it with ghost peppers, which are incredibly hot for most people. Phaal curry goes by other names and spellings, like phal or phall curry, fall curry, faal or fahl curry or paal curry. It is usually served as a tomato-based curry, which I have done here, and I am using ghost peppers, which not only bring the heat, but a wonderfully fruity flavor that I love. Let’s talk about how to make phaal curry, shall we? Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok to medium heat. Add the ghost peppers and onion. Cook them down about 5 minutes, until the peppers and onions have softened. It’s a good idea to cook in a well-ventilated room with ghost peppers. I tossed in a couple serrano pepper as well because I love them. Add the chicken and cook another 2-3 minutes, stirring a bit, until the chicken is mostly cooked through. Next, add in the garlic, ginger and most of the green onions. Cook another minute, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant. Add in the curry powder, paprika, cardamom, turmeric and cumin. Give it a stir. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute. Simmer for 15 minutes or more to let the flavors develop, and the chicken to cook through. The curry will thicken up a bit for you. Top with extra green onions, parsley or cilantro, spicy chili flakes and lime slices or wedges. Boom! Done! Easy curry recipe, isn’t it? Most curries are super easy to make, even the hottest curry in the world. Crazy hot! Perfect for my spicy food lover people. Got any questions? Ask away! I’m happy to help.
