Title: Scorpion Chicken Reaper Jhalfrezi
Post by: Madrasandy on October 11, 2014, 11:28 AM
Jhalfrezi using 1/2 of each of a Carolina Reaper,Trinidad Scorpion, and a Red and green Bhut Jolokia!
It was very very tasty, not as hot as I thought it would be ,but then again will anything after eating the Reaper on its own prior to the curry. Plates were cleaned , nothing left at all , not even a little sample for today. ;)

Looks fantastic Andy. What jhalfrezi recipe is that? I'm doing a few different dishes tonight for a bit of a taster session for the family. Balti, korma ,your madras for the first time, dhansak, curry hell samosas...I might make this obviously without the reaper etc.

MM it wasnt any particular recipe, never use recipes on a Friday night. Just however we decide we want it, which was Jhalfrezi style, similar to Stephen Lindsays (http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php/topic,5429.msg53860.html#msg53860), but with no sugar,no chilli powder , more garlic, different chillis ;D, and chicken wasnt pre-cooked, but cooked in the curry

Although it would probably kill me Andy, it looks too nice not to try some.  :) How does Chicken Femme Fatale sound?

Yes Gav I may call it that  :)
I could eat it again now, oh whats that in my freezer , bag of green Bhut, Red Bhut and 2 reapers !! mmm ;)
After eating the reaper on Friday I cannot recall how hot this curry actually was, the heat from the reaper was far hotter than anything I have ever tried thus masking the heat from the curry, I wish I had saved some curry now.
 
Mrs MA wants curry for tea but will not allow the use of any of the chillis, a mild curry it will be then, Madras  ;D

Andy. Just made a Chicken moruga bhuna using fresh scorpion chillies supplied by Foo King Hot.  Tasty, but not even close to the chilli heat of a typical fresh green naga from my local Bengali supermarkets.  Guess there could be quite a bit of variation; seasonal, quality, etc. on these super-chillies.

I have noticed a lot of variation Rob , the moruga has hit 2 million shu with an average of 1.2 million(ish), the reaper has hit 2.2 million but averages 1.59, a great variation in heat levels. That is the trouble with super hots, they do vary. Even down to the 350.000-450,000 range , the choc hab  is a wonderfully fruity hot and tasty chilli but recently I have had a couple of "duds" with no heat whatsoever, very disappointing .
As the superhots become more popular it makes me wonder what strain and quality of chilli we are actually buying  . I have been on an internet search for some more reapers and after a lot of emails have tracked some down. One farm didn't have any because of "fake" strain of seeds and when they tested the heat levels were very disappointed , but they did say they have the proper seeds from smoking eds now and would email me when ready. If I get the true strain of reapers Rob I will send some out to you, they are amazing  ;)

I don't recall the scorpion chicken reaper jhalfrezi been as hot a curry as the naga naga one I made containing dried nagas, naga masala powder, naga chilli powder and naga pickle, but as I said would anything even taste hot after eating a fresh reaper chilli? But I do recall the naga curry nearly making me hallucinate , maybe the nagas work better in a curry?

I've just emailed FKH to enquire about the whereabouts of the Fatalii I ordered.  They've sent me two bags.  Moruga red and yellow.  If the red are anything to go by the yellow ones will end up in service onions.

Good man Andy.  I can send you some of my dry reserve ghost/butch-T flake.  Immense depth of flavour and brutally hot.

A friend of Step-Garp, who is a trainee chef, brought me a little bottle of chilli sauce tonight. Had a half teaspoon and it started off nice but had a build up of heat, which wasn't uncomfortable but quite spicy.

He also left me a dried Moruga Scorpion Chilli. What the feck am I supposed to do with that?

Re-hydrate it in a little warm water then finely slice and add to a Jalfrezi, don't forget to taste a slice on its own first! Flavour works really well with the peppers in a Jalfrezi
