  1. I always go for a vindaloo and then regret it. They always tell me it’s very spicy. Bro I know, I’ve suffered thought it many a time already, just let me burn myself and regret it later.

  2. 5 minutes of watching India Eat Mania and watching them deep fry a fanta pizza sandwich has taught me that they don’t care what you order lol

  3. People shit on korma but nobody shits on Tikka which is generally just as mild and sweet (especially the bright red takeaway Tikka) with a worse flavour profile.

    I normally have a jalfrezi or a house special curry but korma is nice

  4. Korma is absolutely banging, I don’t give a single shit about some spice pissing contest. However I also love spice, and found a couple places that do a spicy korma. Boy am I ordering that most times.

  5. I love spicy food and spicy curries…but I also fucking love a good korma. That’s what I order 80% of the time when I get an Indian takeaway.

  6. I’m British but have literally everything spicy as I could possibly make it, ITS THE SPICE OF LIFE!

  7. tbh, it depends where you order it.
    I grew up in Leeds/Bradford where a Madras means something, a Vindaloo is bravado*. i now live in London where I have to order a Vindaloo to get a bit of a hit.
    I can understand ordering a korma in Leeds/Bradford, but even a chicken tikka masala is all sugar in London.

    *A phall is always bravado, wherever you are.
    I’ve lived in London 30 years, this is not based on trying only one or two different places.

    Edit: …and to the point of the meme – why tf would they laugh. They’re selling food. You’re eating it. Everybody’s happy.

  8. My Nan used to order ‘a very mild Korma’ as she couldn’t hack spice at all!

    I miss her.

  9. I don’t mind spice, I like hot stuff when in the mood for it however I’ll always order a korma when getting a curry, it just taste so bloody nice.

  10. Food snobs when you tell them the purpose of going to a restaurant is to get the dish you’ll most enjoy

  11. Even if you order a hotter curry they give you ‘white boy spice’ and not even the proper thing lol

  12. When I was a porker, I’d order a Korma and a Vindaloo and mix the two.

    Amazing. A creamy and bloody hot curry. Was amazing.

    I love a korma.

  13. First time I went to India the client’s canteen for foreigners had a Korma and a Vindaloo.

    The Korma was ridiculously spicy. Everyone was acting like it wasn’t but nobody was touching the vindaloo, so I gave it a go.

    It barely had any spice at all.

  14. Went out for a curry in Leicester once with a friend who doesn’t like spice so they asked for a korma. It was spicy as fuck, never had one so hot 🥵

  15. Korma is delicious, not every meal needs to be ridiculously spicy. Shockingly people can eat dishes because they like the taste and still be as ‘manly’as they were when they entered

  16. I’m indian who moved to the UK. Korma is not supposed to be spicy… and I absolutely love it. It’s shame most Indian restaurants suck at making korma. If someone needs proper korma, go to mithai mahal in middlesbrough.

  17. Vindaloo and Phal in the uk are excellent. The level of spice I have encountered in mainland Europe is however rather disappointing. I would take a decent British korma any day of the week over some of the supposedly spicy curries served in other European capitals

  18. I think you have a lack of understanding of what spice is. Chilli is not the only spice.

  19. Indian restauranteurs when they pour the used chutneys back into the tub behind the scenes.

  20. I don’t think Indians give a shit at all about what you order, I’ve never met an Indian person who treats spice levels as a macho contest the way English people seem to.

  21. Actually love a korma, but willl only order if it’s takeaway… for obvious reasons

  22. I don’t like tomato, so my options are really limited. I go for Korma usually.

  23. Had an Indian colleague….hated curry. So I don’t think they give a crap what you order….it all pays the bills.

  24. I like spice but the korma is only served in an indian restaurant so that’s always my choice . FOOD Rules!

  25. I’m right there with you.

    I can take a fair amount. I just don’t enjoy it much.

    Make that another korma. I just want to enjoy my food.
