This made me laugh. I am not a fan of hot curries but I do know that milk will cool the palate.
Great poem!!! I just love this form of poetry…challenging but within my reach.
Thank you so much for writing this an posting this senryu.

That must have been damn hot. (Or hotter than being damned!)
Thank you all for coming by!
Yes, it was damn hot. Almost inedible.
But now I laugh – and remember to carefully measure my curry powder.

I had some mild curry powder so I put a tiny chilli with it and Wow!
I like it hot – and most of the ingriedients for curries etc, grow all around me.
Thanks for stopping by, Stan and Sweet Talking Guy.
Luckily, living in a large city, I have access to authentic spices and ingredients via several Indian stores about town…
