Mostly chili powder and green chilies. Some dishes also use black pepper. Plain and simple!
Trust me, you want to keep an eye on the chili powder and fresh chilies. Those are the main heat sources in Indian food.
In my experience, the trifecta of heat is chili powder, black mustard seeds, and cloves. Get ready to sweat!
Forget all the fancy stuff, just add tons of red chilies and you're set. Seriously, it works.
