I was hoping for a savory flavor, I got a weird spicy flavor. I never had Indian food but I want to try it. Nevertheless, it is a good taste. For a split second I was mildly infuriated tho.

    Masala just means mix, there are hundreds of Indian spice mixes, so this name tells you nothing. For spicy you generally want garam masala, i.e. hot mix.

        Also don’t assume that just because you are tolerant to one (Ex: Mexican, Thai, Korean, Indian, etc) means you are tolerant to the others. You most likely are not.

        People think they can handle it, then cry like babies when they’re truly tested; myself included. I can nearly drink Tapatio and Sriracha Cock Sauce, but Indian Guntur curries for example send me crying.

            Its the kind of bird on the label. I think it shows you the level of spiciness, with the cock being the most spicy one. But searching for those terms might show some masochist applying it to his cock, so yeah, just search for sriracha sauce and you will find it.

          So true. I love spicy food and like it hot, but whenever I go someplace new I step my normal order down a level until I learn their scale.
