Hehe. Actually, Nam Prik Pao can be made in varying degrees of hotness. We make our own paste as well at about medium strength, and I don't like burning the chillies because of the bitter taste it impartes, and of course the smoke.
Alas, the Bangalore Metro project is making its way towards CMH Road, so it will only be a matter of time before I need to move. The hard part is finding another location. Rents in the area are apparently touching Rs. 200 per square foot, which makes it difficult to set up shop. A 3000 sq. ft. restaurant would have to pay Rs. 600,000 as rent per month, and that would mean I need to do business of about 30,00,000 per month for the numbers to make sense, which is practically impossible. I'm wondering what the way out is.
