Hot stuff!

Though the common belief that all Indian food is hot and spicy is not true, there are some dishes that could leave you panting! A great example is Hell's Flame! This fiery yet delicious Anglo-Indian chutney lives up to it's name! The trick is to have just a little with your food. That way it enhances the other flavors in the meal without making you run lickety-split to the nearest tap for a drink!
