I remember reading somewhere there is a specific chemical that binds to the pain receptors on our toungues that gives curry its spicy flavour.

Sounds like a homework question.

I know that capsaicin is the chemical in chili's that make it spicy.

Thanks info , I think that must be it.

Eelarch disagrees : Is there not a homework section? I dont see my question there.

Read the site rules pertaining to the use of a disagree. Its abundently clear you haven't done so yet.

And this site is not for helping people avoid doing their homework as is very frequently the case. And this is very obviously a homework question by someone who doesn't want to review their textbook.
