Morrisons’ Volcanic Vindaloo hottest-ever curry made with a chilli that’s 200 times hotter than a Jalapeno is back
MORRISONS' Volcanic Vindaloo curry that is made with chillies that are 200 times hotter than a Jalapeno is back in stores.
This time the curry - which it claims is the hottest ever sold by a supermarket - is part of a meal deal for two.
The Volcanic Vindaloo includes a hot chicken tikka masala, chili naans, spicy onion bhajis and a pilau rice and it costs £5 for all you spice fans.
The dish is aimed at extreme curry lovers who find the spice levels in existing products too mild.
Some Naga chilli varieties are hotter than pepper spray and others have been used to develop tear gas grenades.
To add even more fire the volcanic vindaloo is topped with whole green chilies - roasted to intensify their flavour and heat.
But you'll have to hurry if you want to try the curry, it's only in stores until July 22.
The hugely popular red hot ready meal was a sell-out success when the supermarket first launched it in honour of National Curry Week, last year.
