Phaal (Phall) Curry, Southern India

Originating in Southern India, Phaal combines at least 10 different peppers into a single, thick curry dish and its distinct spicy kick comes from a core ingredient, the Bhut jolokia chili pepper, which has been confirmed by the Guinness World Records as the most potent pepper on earth. In Pakistan and elsewhere it is referred to as the Naja jolokia pepper.
