[Request] International dishes I can make using SuperHot Peppers? (Bengali Haleem Recipe Included)

I'm looking for international dishes that will really utilize the flavor of the superhots like South Asian food does!

Few things to note:

• My family and I are South Asian (Bengali) so we have quite a few of those dishes covered but feel free to include them!

• I'm looking for more international and less Western/American since that's pretty easy to find. Feel free to drop your favorite tweaked dishes though!

• Anything goes but extra points for eclectic cuisine that you can't normally find!

I'll share a recipe here that my family LOVES. We joke that its the desi version of chili, hahah. This recipe is basically identical to what my family makes with small changes (we don't always use all of the daal ingredients).

Haleem Mashla Powder

It's easier to buy this with the garam mashla powder but the recipe to make it can be found here: http://zuranazrecipe.com/haleem-mashlahaleem-spice-powder/

Serving

It's basically done! What we recommend is adding cucumbers, tomatoes, fresh chopped green chilis, and/or mint leaves. The toppings are up to you but keep in mind that cheese does not go in this dish. We joke that its like chili but cheese will ruin the dish. I mention this disclaimer because I've had several friends ask and attempt it and it does not come out good at all.

bon appetit
