Food!!! the one word that constantly brings happiness in our lives. Some love sweet food, while some are extra spicy for their meals. We have already read about the best sweet dishes and now it's turn to turn your head for the spiciest cuisine from around the world. Different countries have different spices that they use in their cuisine's to add the extra taste.
Ethiopian
The spicier aspects of Ethiopian cuisine revolve around a powdered spice mixture called berbere, which varies tremendously according to cook, but invariably contains a large powdered red chile component in addition to ginger, garlic, cloves, nutmeg, and a half-dozen other spices.
Ghanaian
You’ll find that most West African cuisines have a fiery component, sometimes in the stews (often referred to as "soups") but also in the condiments. In Ghana, the heat can be ramped up in any dish with shito, the hot paste based on ground black pepper, palm oil (that’s where the reddish color comes from), and sometimes anise pepper — a close cousin of Sichuan peppercorns.
Indian
The signature pepper of India is the green finger chile, but long green chiles are also deployed, sometimes as appetizers lightly breaded in chickpea flour and fried as chilli pakoda (note that, in India, chilli is usually spelled with two "L"s). Spice mixtures called masalas also use powdered chiles to adjust the spice level, which can be ramped up to very hot.
Japanese
Sure shishito peppers are found on many Japanese menus, served by themselves seared, but these peppers are often only mildly hot. Higher heat is found in many forms of ramen, especially spicy miso ramen, or may be added in the form of red chile oil — a Chinese import — found on the table in many ramen parlors.
Mexican
Mexican is currently the cuisine that remains most consistently spicy in its United States evocations. Fresh chiles and dried chiles are used in profusion within dishes, pickled chiles as accompaniments, and chile-bearing salsas are offered in multiple versions at a single meal. Some dishes such as chile rellenos and chiles en nogado feature chiles as the centerpiece of the recipe.
