OK: When it comes to how hot a curry is, what is your personal preference?

SS: I like very hot curry. Some customers can take a 50 bai hot curry, so if they do order that and I cannot taste it to judge the spiciness, I cannot satisfy our customers.

OK: Is your opinion that the hotter a curry is, the more delicious it is?

SS: That depends on what the customer likes, it all depends on individual tastes. Mild curries are popular worldwide. Every country has its own style. In India most people prefer them very spicy.

OK: Do you make curries for yourself at home? Are they different to what you make for the restaurant?

SS: Homemade curry and restaurant style is a bit different. In restaurant we have to standardise our menu to a taste that will appeal to as many people as possible, while at home it’s a personal experience.
