Phaal Curry Recipe - the Hottest Curry in the World

With this phaal curry recipe, you can make the spiciest, hottest curry in the world with chicken, loads of seasonings, and extra fiery ghost peppers. And, I'll show you how to make it even hotter!

Phaal Curry Recipe - the Hottest Curry in the World

Hottest Curry in the World - Phaal Curry!

It's spicy hot curry in the Chili Pepper Madness kitchen today, my friends, and when I say "spicy hot", I truly mean spicy hot! Why? Because today we're making Phaal Curry, and if you've never tried it, you're in for a wonderful experience.

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...

What is Phaal Curry?

Phaal curry is considered one of the hottest curries in the world, and the hottest of Indian curries, even hotter than vindaloo. It is a British Asian curry that originated in Birmingham, UK restaurants.

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?

Phaal Curry Ingredients

  • Chicken Breast. Or you can use chicken thigh, or lamb.
  • Vegetable Oil. For cooking.
  • Ghost Peppers. You can sub in habaneros for more manageable heat, or use even milder peppers.
  • Other Vegetables. Onion, green onion, garlic.
  • Tomatoes. Tomato paste and diced tomatoes.
  • Spices. Ginger, curry powder, paprika, cardamom powder, turmeric, cumin, salt and black pepper.
  • Chicken Broth or Stock. Vegetable broth or stock is good, too.
  • Lime Juice.
  • For Serving. Chopped cilantro, spicy chili flakes or parsley, cooked rice.

How to Make Phaal Curry - the Recipe Method

First, season the chopped chicken with a bit of salt and pepper.

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.

Add the diced tomatoes and chicken broth and stir. Bring to a quick boil and reduce the heat.

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.

Serve the spicy chicken curry over prepared white rice, then squeeze a bit of fresh lime juice over the top.

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.

Recipe Tips & Notes

  • The Peppers. Most phaal curry recipes will call for hot peppers, like the habanero pepper or scotch bonnet peppers, which are roughly 300,000 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville Scale. Those are definitely hot, but ghost peppers are very commonly used. Ghost peppers tip the heat scale at over 1 Million SHU. They really bring the heat!
  • Lower the Heat. If you're looking for a milder version of this recipe that still has a good heat level, go with a single habanero pepper, but core it out first. Or, you can make it with serrano peppers, which are about 50,000 SHU. Still hot, but not crazy.
  • Make it Even Hotter. Want to make this a true "hottest curry in the world" recipe? Make it with Carolina Reaper peppers, the hottest peppers in the world at the moment. Try it with other superhot chili peppers too, like 7-Pot peppers or scorpion peppers. Oh baby! You can also use extra hot chili powders, sauces and seasonings. Light it up!
  • The Proteins. I used chunks of chicken breast for this recipe, but it realistically works with any protein. Try it with chicken breast, chicken thigh, chunks of lean pork, shrimp, fish, or tofu.

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!

Notes

Heat Factor: VERY HOT++. Phaal curry is the hottest curry in the world, so expect some heat, my friends! You can adjust the heat down with milder peppers, or go even hotter with superhot chili peppers, like the Carolina Reaper.

    I'm making this tonight for my spice-loving husband and I but had one question for the future, what onion type are we talking about for use in this recipe? I have both red and white on hand and sided with the white onion on tonight's trial run but was curious what you use typically!

    Thank you for the great share, and we finally can use our homegrown ghost peppers!

    Hello Mike, I am considering making this recipe sometime next week as I have been in the mood for some spicy curry, but am not particularly interested in going out to a restaurant.

    Unfortunately however, we have already processed down all of our Ghost Peppers from the garden into a dried powder. Would you say that having fresh peppers is an integral part of the dish, or would simply adding some of the powder at the same stage of the rest of the spices have a roughly analogous result? If so, about how much powder would you recommend using as a substitute?

    In any case, thank you for recipe, and for all the other wonderful information you post here. 🙂

      I would use other fresh peppers in place of the fresh ghost peppers, then add 1 tsp ghost powder with the other seasonings. You can adjust from there. Let me know how it goes. Enjoy!

    Mike, I cooked this PhalCurry today, using four habanero peppers, one Carolina reaper, two Cayenne peppers, two Chili Arbol peppers, one teaspoon Kashmiri pepper and one teaspoon of my own mix of "ghost peppers, scorpion peppers, mutant X peppers, chocolate habanero peppers and big mustard mama peppers".
    It turned out absolutely wonderful, great taste and some serious heat. Thanks for this great recipe.
    Will definitely do this again.

    I loved it. 3 ghost peppers (my homegrown variant was the hottest I ever grew, hotter than my Reaper) was just right. Any more and it would have been impossible to discern the finer tastes, less and it would have been just another ordinary hot Indian dish. I think this one needs heat. I took lamb. My curry powder was one I got from an Indian chef a while ago and it is in itself hot and spicy. Really nice recipe with the right touch.

    I have seen other stupid recipes of Phaal on the net with 8 Bhuts and a lot of extra hot powder on top. If you don't like food, I recommend eating the ghost peppers raw - should not taste much different.

    I'll be back here.

    This was an excellent recipe! I wanted to get some Phaal but I couldn’t find a single Indian restaurant in the entire state that made it. So this was the only real option for enjoying Phaal. I ordered ghost peppers from Ghostly Hots (they grow and sell ghost peppers all year, including in the winter if you want a place to recommend to people for getting fresh ghost peppers).

    I made this with 4 ghost peppers, 3 habaneros, and I put in a 1/4 teaspoon of each of the pepper powders I used in this (Reaper, Scorpion, Ghost, and Habanero).

    It tasted great but the flavor of 4 ghosts was a little bit overpowering. Next time I’ll use 3 ghosts, 3 scotch bonnets (better flavor and mouth feel), and 1-2 Carolina Reapers (more fruity and floral flavors). As well as less turmeric and more cumin.

    Thanks for this recipe, this was great!

    First of all, a confession. I can't get ghost peppers or any other super spicy ones where I am BUT I liked the look of the recipe. I just made it and it was AMAZING! Couple of things I would do differently next time; fry off the onions a little longer as they still had a little crunch at the end (I like that, but others who I cook for don't), I added 20 green chillies, 1 tsp of chilli powder and a sprinkling of chilli flakes (I find chilli in different forms hits in different ways), I would also add a little ground coriander and garam massala at the end for some extra notes. Oh, also, I made double but the cardomom was overpowering, next time I would reduce that. I also added 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper...delish!

    (No rating because I haven't made it yet). Michael, what is the primary difference between phall and vindaloo? Is it just the vinegar marinade/flavor? The ingredients seem very similar, apart from the vinegar.

    This is good, but suicidal HOT! I had to make changes. I didn't want to use Ghost Peppers or habaneros because I just can't handle that level of heat. But, no store where I live has fresh chilies in stock, let alone anything milder like serranos. I thought about adding more hot Hungarian paprika, but then it would have been more like Chicken paprikash than a curry. So, back to the habanero. I had a can of Rotel tomatoes with Habanero which I used. I had maybe 2-3 sips, the rest of of it I donated to my husband. He liked it, thought it was very hot too. I had to turn on AC for him.
    I will make this again if I can find milder chilies.

    I want to make this and just got back from shopping with everything I need. I have ghost peppers, but they’re dried.

    (1) Are dried peppers hotter than fresh?

    (2) How do I proceed when using dried peppers? Id est, do I cut them into small mince? do I deseed them (I like to keep seeds, as a general rule)? when do I add them in?

    I swear, Mike, I’m actually salivating as I write this! Thanks so much for keeping things really hot and yummy.

      Great, Hollis. Dried peppers aren't hotter than fresh, though will have good heat for sure. You can either rehydrate them in some hot water and chop them into the dish, or crush them and swirl them in with the seasonings. You can deseed if you want but you don't have to. I usually don't. Let me know how it turns out for you!

        Thanks, Mike. I think I’ll rehydrate them in some of the hot chicken stock and chop them up, and use the rehydrated stock in the dish. Also, what if I use harissa instead of tomato paste? Harissa wouldn’t mess with the curry’s flavor profile, would it, since it goes with all the other spices … or does it? I’m making it today; I probably won’t have your answer by the time I fire up the stove, so I’ll let you know how (hot) it turns out. and I’m making cilantro rice to go with it.

          Great, Hollis. Harissa would be good, I think, but does have the potential to change the overall flavor, depending on the peppers and spices used to make it. Please let me know how it turns out for you. Enjoy.

    Hot, hot, hot! Awesome hotness, here, Mike ! I allowed myself a little adaptations to your recipe: not oil, but rather ghee; and I added little garam masala and some ground fennel seeds.
    This was soooo good with our beloved Ghost Pepper!
