Should you have any other queries, I am also on mallika@quickindiancooking.com. Four ounces of red finger chillies sounds like a lot. But then Goan food is very, very spicy normally. Also, I am from Calcutta originally and infamously crap at stomaching chillies. Two teaspoons of red chillies would have done my nut in too. Next time try half the amount. It will hurt you enough without killing you off completely. The other thing is that red finger chillies are quite difficult to find in normal shops, unless you want dry ones, which every Indian corner shop should have or happily source for you. I hope you ate the lobster anyway... would be a right shame to waste it! Chrs M Hi Tim

I'm posting here because I can't see any easier way to reach you. Reason? Rick Stein's recipe for GOAN LOBSTER using a GOAN MASALA paste. To some 12 tsp of ingredients, he adds FOUR OUNCES of RED FINGER CHILLIES. And uses 3 tbs of that for 2 Lobsters. Not knowing what 'finger chillies' were - hence my search & finding you - I used 2 tsp of BIRD'S EYE chillies - all I had. Despite several years near 'Calcutta' in the '40s, it blew my top!! Could he REALLY have meant FOUR OUNCES?? Surely FINGER CHILLIES are not that mild? = Tim What a refreshing site! I’m posting here because I can’t see any easier way to reach you.

"my husband dashed into the study to tell me the aubergines were on fire", I make it the same way, except i mash them before adding them to the onion masala mix... i shud try your way, it probably is more chunkier.... thanks for the recipe...

I saw another version with yoghurt, instead of tomatoes. Both sounds great. I shall have to try them when I've overcome my fear of flaming aubergines! This sounds lovely!

I believe in bulk! :) cheers!
