How Can I Reduce Heat Of Over-Spiced Food?

[dembee]

I have made a dish with chilli which is much too hot. Is there any way to reduce the heat?

[Tilly2]

Plain Yogurt

[ummmm]

Little bit of sugar.

[ummmm]

Tilly, would you really put yogurt into a chilli?

[DaisyNonna]

Peel a potato, cut into small chunks and simmer until potato is cooked. Remove.
Other trick is to add tablespoon of natural yoghurt

[Tilly2]

If it was too hot I would, Ummmm. It takes away the heat.

[Tilly2]

......as Daisy has confirmed.

[ubasses]

sugar works well

[ummmm]

I would serve it on the side. I reckon it would make the chilli look really unappealing.

DaisyNonna's potato tip works. It will also work have over salted a stew or soup.

You would of course dispose of the unwanted potato pieces in an environmentally way.

[Tilly2]

You've missed a bit, Togo!

[Togo]

environmentally friendly way.

[DaisyNonna]

Pop the potato in a curry the next day

Blimey I thought FrugalFred would suggest that potato saving tip!! :-)

[tamborine]

Serve with bland bread, rice, pasta & lots of water

[DaisyNonna]

A child remembering rationing!

Stir some sour cream into it
