Answer 2

I agree that penzys is a great source for spice education. In my opinion, curry isn't spicy HOT but spicy as in FULL of wonderful flavor. I wish people didn't automatically assume spicy means heat. I mean, not everyone assumes that but I happen to live in a small town with a bunch of uneducated losers.

Answer 3

yes it is a mixture of about 8 spices it is a lot like salsa in terms of its hotness some of it is very hot and others are very very mild. Try an experiment get small amounts of three different heats. blend two ice cubes half cup of whipping cream, one peeled and cored and chopped granny smith apple and a half cup of good quality chicken broth blend it all together and then put samples of it in small coffee cups... shake enough curry on each one for a skin over the entire top... let set for ten minutes and then eat with a spoon just like the cold soup that it i.s That will help you to appreciate which mix you like and how hot you like it, while you're at it save me some... okay?
