Is Korean Food Spicier Than Indian Food?
Depends on the dish! Korean food often uses chilies and gochujang for a spicy kick, while Indian cuisine incorporates a variety of spices that can also bring significant heat. Try a Korean tteokbokki and an Indian vindaloo—they’re both fiery in their own ways!

Korean food is generally spicy with its use of gochugaru (chili powder), but Indian food can get even spicier with dishes like Phaal curry. So it's a bit of a tie in my book!
Korean food relies on chili paste and pepper for heat, while Indian food has a broader spice palette. Personally, I've had spicier Indian dishes overall.
Indian food, hands down! Ever tried Laal Maas?
They're both spicy but in different ways. Korean spice hits quick, Indian spice builds up!
