Kalderetang Tagalog (The Flamethrower)

This recipe is from my dad. I remember eating this for the very first time and I almost choked to death by the spiciness of this dish. This version is very different from the more popular one. It is our own version that requires no tomato sauce, instead we use coconut cream. This is best as pulutan among the boys. Try this and I promise you'll love it. I renamed it as The Flamethrower for the reason that it requires a great deal of chilies and it would really feel like you're blowing flames.
