You answered your own question. Chilli is common here and it's hard to find a good curry, so when you do find one it leaves an impression.

I'm lucky enough to be married to a woman who grew up in a house next to immigrants from the Goa area of india. Her mother and the matriarch of the neighbor household were good friends, and in the process she learned a lot of the double super duper secret curry creation techniques. My tongue has never been happier.
