Cooling a spiCy dish

[Dan_1981]

What can you add to a dish that u may have accidently made a little too spicy?

[Bit of a Unit]

Depends on the dish, but sugar or honey will take the edge off.

depends what it is and what taste/consistency its supposed to be.

milk, yoghurt, coconut milk, more of the other ingredients etc.

Serve it with a splodge of something dairy. For instance, serve raita with curry, sour cream with chilli etc...

[Dan_1981]

It's chilli

1] add more tomato and reduce back down.
2] serve with sour cream and ice cold beer.
3] don't be such a girl

add potato or cornflour

squeeze of lemon helps

If you have cooked the Chilli just for you...!
Don't be such a Girl - get on and eat it..!

If its for others, I would seperate some out into a bowl, then add more Tomatoes / Sauce, Kidney Beans etc to bring the spice down a bit..

Then add some back in from the bowl to spice it back up / increase volume - or Freeze it as a spicy one for next time..

It was for the GF as well.

And she's not a big fan of spicy food.

It turned out OK though in the end after it had sweated for a bit alot of the spice seemed to go (slightly disapointed)

so all in all not too bad!

Thanks for all the tips though!

yoghurt is the king of doing this.

if youghurt would make it disgusting, a squirt of lime helps, but in cooling-ability is not in the same league.
