Hadi's Curry of Life

In (fillers of) the Naruto anime, the "Curry of Life" is this super-awesome curry made by this obaa-chan (old lady) in a curry shop near the mountains. The curry was so powerful that it was able to make Rock Lee (guy with ugly eyebrows) who was training nearby with Gai-sensei (another guy with ugly eyebrows) regain consciousness when he collapsed due to the intensive training.

Hadi has never seen the Naruto anime, and since it was a filler episode, he never read it in the manga either (which he *does* read). I just named it as such, as when I got a whiff of Hadi's curry, it was so strong that it was enough to make my eyes tear. It seems, however, that its bark is worse than its bite. The curry wasn't actually all that hot, though it was hot enough to make me down a tall glass of water during the meal. Hadi and Justin ate it without any sign of having too much spiciness though, although Justin did complain that it was a bit too salty for him.

So you want to make Naruto's curry of life? Too bad, I don't have the recipe, but it seems that the obaa-chan just dumped in random stuff in, like an octopus... o.0 and some black tar-looking thing. I can tell you what Hadi put in HIS curry of life though. :P Including the chicken, he put in random amounts of curry paste, cumin, chinese-five-spice, turmeric, chicken stock, peas, chopped dried chillies and a couple of cloves, all mixed in water. He probably didn't add that much curry paste though, since it wasn't that hot, plus....well, it had only a slight hint of curry. Okay, more than a slight hint, but not all that much really. For sure, it was a variation on the chicken curry he usually makes. I think its the cumin, he just discovered that a couple of weeks ago :P It smells good - almost like curry! muahaha. Its definitely an essential ingredient :D But go easy on the chicken stock (or salt, if you prefer). I think the curry paste is salty enough already.
