Not so hot it makes your lips burn though. You can enjoy a hot dish without it being painful.

The Portuguese brought the chilli to India (Goa specifically) from South America. It's not indigenous to India. Pork, or more precisely preserved/pickled pork, is the basis of Vindaloo.

i put them on/in everything. breaded jalapeno poppers with cream cheese are the best of all the bastardised mexican dishes.
i just got a salad from the shop that tosses them fresh for you, and had jalapenos and fresh chillis in it. and i added cayenne chilli to the top.
and the best of all the curries is a samber, with lentils and lemon and shit loads of spice.

I've got a well good recipe for Chilli and Lime hot sauce.
It's either a marinade or wet sauce, whichever you want and is totally raw, no cooking at all.
I used half an onion
3 spring onions
3 cloves of garlic
10 Scotch Bonnets with seeds in
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon freshly ground allspice
1 heaped teaspoon of flaky sea salt
300ml cider vinegar
about 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme
1 lime squeezed
2 teaspoons of tomato puree
1 tsp sugar
All in the blender, blended down to a smooth consistency, then bottled.
That made 3 175ml bottles.
Make sure you pour boiling water in your bottles/jars to sterilise them or the sauce won't last

Spicy food is excellent
I grow my own chillis and I've pickled the black ones I grew. When sliced, they look like olives on a pizza (with really spicy chorizo - natch) and have caught out many an unsuspecting guest.
Best lunch? In Kiev, drinking vodka and eating various spiced/preserved meats and sausages over several hours with the locals.
Worst Lunch? Three squeak mice in KL with a supplier. I think he was testing my Britishness.
