Ooohhh...

Chilli...

Don't know any failsafe recipes, all I can say is the hotter the better.

My worst experience with chilli (I'm a raving addict to hot stuff) was about a year ago when I overate on achar:

Any case - I pigged out on green mango achar, and had a terrible case of the runs the next morning. Nothing serious, I figured; that's what good and solid Durban achar does to a man.

Really? I hear you asking.

Well, almost two weeks later I decided to go see a doctor. This couldn't be good for me, I figured. I was dehydrating like you won't believe. I was busy dying!

Turns out the achar was so hot it killed all my intestinal flora! All them little bugs died from too much chilli! I had to pop a few pills to get my own personal bacteria collection up and running again!

I haven't stopped eating it, though - I still have a couple of 'em capsules left. So I'm ready for any chilli you can throw my way!
