    No it isn’t… It has more spices. It does not have more capsaicin. Indian food by default is NOT spicy hot. It is spiced. You can get it spicy hot but that’s not default.

    It’s like saying fried chicken is spicy because you can order it with a hot sauce coating. In reality just that style of preparation is spicy.

      You can argue semantics until you go blue in the face. If you’re not used to spicy food or hot food, or food that produces a similar feeling in the mouth, you have to be careful with Indian food. Your tolerance level isn’t everyone else’s.

        Spices are not heat. End of story. If you don’t understand this, you are obviously a pasty white American and the exact point being made.

          What’s the point in being so pedantic? Calling it the correct thing isn’t going to make it palatable.
