Too Hot Chilli

tiff

My kids put lots of soured cream and cheese on theirs and mix it in, takes away the heat and is really tasty too.

Soured cream, all the way. Mmmmmmmmm... Yummy....

Plain yoghourt takes the heat out of too hot curry, so I expect it would work for chilli. Stir it through just before serving.

or add some chopped tinned tomatoes and cook it out a bit

Yes I was going to suggest take the kids portion out, add some toms and cook it down.

This may sound wierd, I think it does but my teenager stirs maynoise :cool: into her curries as she says it cools it down because it is too hot and it makes it taste creamy

Maybe put a little of the chilli in the dish and try it

hope this helps

I was told that adding salt makes it hotter, and adding sugar makes it 'cooler'. Which is why, I guess, the potato works, as it would absorb salt and release sugars in the form of starch. I think...

plain yoghurt, soured cream, or creme fraiche...any of these will work beautifully. We do it all the time as my DH likes his hotter than I do :-)

I used to put baked beans in my childrens. Not only did it take the heat out of it, they had beans too as they didn't like the red kidney beans.
