Mild chilli dipping sauce please

lynnemcf

I have ended up with three bottles of sweet chilli dipping sauce that are just too hot for me. I guess I cannot cope with even a little bit of heat. Is there anything I can do to make it less spicy? I tried sieving out the flat white seeds to see if that helped (it didnt).

Add some yoghurt or creme fraiche to it.

Or mix it with some tomato ketchup or other mild-flavoured sauce, if you want to keep the sweet and sticky quality. You can use it for cooking, too - a splash in HM tomato sauce gives a lovely, sweetly spicy (but not very spicy, as long you don't use too much) flavour.

thin it out with tomato ketchup or if you want to keep it as a chilli sauce, mix sugar syrup and rice vinegar in until it's diluted down enough.

Just water it down for goodness sake . . . or give them away to someone with a more robust tongue.

It's very easy to make a chilli dipping sauce, so if I were you, I think I'd make a batch minus the chillis, and use it to dilute your bottled sauce. The sauce keeps for ages, so should be fine.
Here's an easy recipe if you want to give it a bash.

Thanks for the link. I tried mixing one teaspoon of sauce and mayo and that was OK to dip but a bit horrible to look at ...

If you make up a decent quantity with your mayo, put it in a glass jar or squeezy bottle and give a really good shake. It'll look much smoother.
If you want it just as tasty but a bit healthier,if you add a few tbsp of natural yoghurt too, it doesn't affect the taste much at all, just less spicy.

I use it after I've done a veggie stirfry, mix some in and the serve straight away
