September Question

Is there a recipe for burhka, for those of us who like really spicy food?

There isn’t a recipe for burhka, per se.  My personal sense of the dish is beef or lamb, in a brownish red sauce with the consistency and underlying taste of a thick curry, heated by the hottest jalapeno  peppers available along with a healthy dose of paprika, with slices of whatever root vegetables are available, served over noodles or rice.

    My own imagination has always placed it as some type of curry – Hottest Vindaloo or above, but of the stew-style curry from Japan.

    Interesting… I always read it as more along the lines of a chili than a curry.

    This answer made me go re-read the series specifically for the food recipes. I had sworn Burkha had mint in it. But found there was another spicy mint dish that wasn’t really named.

      In The Chaos Balance, that’s how Zeldyan describes it on page 195. “The brown sauce is burkha, a hot mint.”

    Personally, I much prefer the flavor of habaneros over jalapeños. They are also much hotter. I love to throw a couple dozen in a pot of whatever.

      Ever tried Carolina Reapers? Hottest peppers currently.
