SUPERMARKET giant, Morrison's, has launched a new hottest curry after curry connoisseurs said last year's creation wasn't hot enough.
The Flaming Fiery Phaal was introduced to shelves across the country on October 8, including the Morrison's store in Idle.
This fiery concoction mixes Scorpion Chillies - previously the hottest chilli in the world at close to 1.5 million Scovilles - with Naga and green chillies giving this an overall heat rating of eight chillis.
Morrison's says the Flaming Fiery Phaal is the hottest supermarket curry ever.
It is the evolution of its little brother, the Volcanic Vindaloo, which sat at a now measly looking six chilli rating.
A number of customers voiced complaints and gave reviews stating that the vindaloo creation was simply not hot enough.
Morrison chefs decided to respond and up its spice game by scouring the country for the hottest recipe possible.
The search led them to Birmingham’s Bangladeshi restaurants, the home of the phaal, which is often considered the fieriest and most challenging curry in the world.
Paul Kelly, at Morrison's Idle, said: "We love to hear back from customers and were happy to take on the challenge.
"The difficulty when making a phaal is to make sure it’s got as much flavour as it has heat. But we think we’ve pulled it off."
The curry is available for £2 and you can get your hands on one from stores today.
