  • I recently promised I was going to do The Phaal Challenge... and have a found the place to do it.
    I am at the Akash, an Indian restaurant in Portsmouth that I used to frequent in my university days.
    But not content with making me a Phall, they are adding even more chillis - it's a Phaal Plus, a Super Phaal!! It's the hottest curry I have ever faced... oh my God !
    Owner Faz had his own TH-cam channel where you can check all of his receipes too - / @cheffaz9543

    Hi Greeno, I think I would be stuffed eating only the starter and the second, the portion sizes were enormous! 😅 It looks and sounds absolutely wonderful, so sure I would love it. When it comes to the Phaal I think it would have killed me, I am like Gary when it comes to spice, I can tolerate a bit of spice but nothing like a Phaal. Then my colleagues at the A&E would have to treat me afterwards. I am really impressed with your effort eating that Phaal, mate! Respect! 🫡

    Im "Basingstoke " up the road from Portsmouth = my home in the 70s,80s,90s .
    If you were in a pub in town - you ended up at a indian restaurant. Kickout out of the pubs 11pm plus a few later back then . Indian restaurant served booze to 2am ....
    We had a local - you turned up and met the sane drunks every week . We had a special table - we called the "captains table " . Age ranges on the tabke were 18 years ( me and my friends in the 90s ) and 70s plus year s old . We just met the old timers in the restaurant every week when in town .
    Everyone guy in the restaurant thought they could handle "Hot" and ordered the hottest they could get . Most were crying half way through -
    We just Jalfrazia for the hot our hot dishes and got the waiters to put on extra "birdseye" chilies ( the little green ones )
    It wasnt until 2000 ish did i eat my first vindaloo ...i didnt enjoy it at all .
    We heard about the naga and phaal but you had to ask them to cook it . I do like hot but in my old age - im not as "jack the lad " as the 90s with mates ( they were great times ) .
    I moved to Buckinghamshire around 2000 and all the indians went "high-end" ...serving monk fish , salmon curries etc still lovely food .
    But as per video - i like old skool restaurants = elephants everywhere , waterfall light pictures , booth seating etc
    I dont mind cobra but prefer kingfisher - maybe a dodgy house white or red and a irish coffee to end .
    Its a brilliant nightout - i do miss the 90s - having friends who didnt have responsibilities was why it was so good

    Favorite line: "It's not JUST an unpleasant bowl of chili..."
    My understanding of how it MIGHT work by adding the other types of chile - I think that really they hit different parts of the palate. So you're not necessarily making it that much hotter at a certain point, but you're tormenting more of your taste buds with the heat you're applying. Of course, you ate The Entire Bowl, so ... where do we send flowers?
    As far as relief, yes, water is not effective, since it just basically spreads the offending agents around. The heat from chiles is carried in oil, which water doesn't penetrate. Other oils can help (hence the dairy), and sugar seems to counteract some of the effects. I've also heard that the Russian Cure (straight cold vodka) works wonders to remove the pain, which would make sense because alcohol will cut oil. However, after Eating The Entire Bowl of heat, you'd probably end up in a sodden puddle on the floor if you resorted to the vodka, thus making it difficult to return to the restaurant. Which would suck, because that place looks fabulous, and the people seem wonderful.
    Maybe on a more normal future outing with just a basically hot curry, you could test the curative effects of a mango Lassi laced with a tot of either rum or vodka (I've had both in Lassi and they've been very nice). But Mrs Greeno should drive. 😅

    Well done there Greeno. It is a different style review today and the extra bits are great. It is great to know the places you ate at 30+ years ago have stood the test of time and that can only be down to the restaurant offering excellent value, great flavour and wonderful ambiance. Will you be doing a video with BeardMeetsFood next ?? hahaha (only joking) That would be a funny crossover.

      It was nice to get a little extra access, the team at Akash were very accomodating. Means a bit of a longer video, especially with doing another curry after the first one, but I think it's worth it !!

    Great review Greeno. That starter was a belly filler on it's own! The main looked like it was served by people who love what they do and it looked top level.
    I'm one of the weirdos who really love a phal. They are not too hot to me. Had much hotter than phal at some places over the years after boasting and a few beers! (to my silliness). Also had a few good discounts for surprising staff with eating the heat over the years, lol....If you are working up the hot curries, remember this....
    It's food. Drink a lassi with it slowly, not lager or water. Tell yourself you can do it. Ask for naga for extra flavour over the 'raw' chilli heat. Mind over matter.
    Oh yeah, finally, don't eat a phal when it is steaming hot, it enhances the heat.
    Finally, if you have got a cold, covid or similar....this blasts it away 😃😃😃😃
