You can’t handle a 6/10?!

 

There was a Lao/Thai place in the Midwest that went 1-10.  I can eat pretty hot but a 5 was basically you were going to eat your meal through tears, which I did each time.  I had on occasion seen people order a 10 and I have to assume they went home and shit fire straight through their pants before creating a meltdown of nuclear proportions in their toilet.

This conversation reminded me of this Indian food restaurant in Singapore called Lagnaa... Barefoot Dining that has a chili challenge.

When I ate there I did level 6/10 and got to put my name on a wooden clothes pin on the wall. It was definitely really spicy. Now if you do that level you get invited to a full moon chili party?!?! Sounds spicy.


Washed it all down with some of these.

Apparently nobody has ever finished level 10 spice.

I would be terrified of your spice levels with all the wild super hot chilies you have in your freezer 😂.

In turn you have reminded me of a more local curry challenge that I never got to from the Brick Lane Curry House in NYC:

The menu used to describe the make up of this curry, pretty daunting.

Made this a couple weekends back. Terrible photos, suck it.

 

Maqlooba is an Arab dish I was raised on, there are several variations, it's similar to Russian Plov or a Biryani.

 

Basically beef, onions, cauliflower,  rice, salt and a shitload of black pepper. Bedouin people make this in the morning, wrap it in a blanket, move wherever they're headed, unwrap it and bam, dinner. I use towels to wrap it. 

 

Qulubuh means to flip, maqlooba is a thing that's been flipped--so after unwrapping you flip it over and lift the pot off for a tower of rice, veg, and super tender meat. 

 

Serve with yogurt and pine nuts, and more black pepper.

There is some amusing irony in the last picture flipping.

This looks amazing!

 

You grew up overseas right? I think you may have mentioned that before.

 

I am going to try and make this dish some time. If you have a preferred recipe let me know.

I was born in Pakistan and lived there til I was six. My mother also grew up a missionary kid,  surrounded by other MKs, so world cuisine was always around growing up. 

 

I'll type up a recipe for what I do, there are so many variations in protein and veg and flavoring options. I haven't had a bad one yet.

The lil golden cherry tomatoes on the side make it even better imo.. just the right addition of sweet and savory and compliments the brioche well..

 

 

Low key been popping them bitches like m&ms throughout the day too as a lil snacky snack.. 

 

I normally do avocado and hot sauce.
