How can I call a too hot curry down?

[Sparrowlegs248]

Just that really. Add natural yogurt? I feel like that might ruin it. Although the it's already ruined.

Natural yoghurt will make it gritty. I have chucked lemon juice in before.

Natural yogurt, or cream if you have it.

Coconut milk if you have any?

What type of curry is it? I’d add either a tin of tomatoes or coconut milk.

Ivr heard putting a potato in while it's cooking will help

Serve yoghurt on the side, eg raita with grated/sliced cucumber.

Tried this before and sadly it didn’t work.

Plenty of naan bread or chapati. The yoghurt should work, though. It's apparently easier to cool a too hot curry down than spice up a mild one.

"too hot curry, can you come down now"

Creme freche, natural or Greek yoghurt or sour cream either has worked for me in the past.

Add creme freche or cream. Coconut milk could help.

Haha yes, sorry for the typo. Its a beef curry. Online shop failed to deliver fresh green chilli. Used some jalapenos from a jar. That was a mistake.

What’s the sauce?

Mango chutney and raita

Why would yoghurt make it gritty? No grit in yoghurt.
Adding yoghurt always works for me, and friends of Asian descent use it to knock back curries for their small children.

Lemon juice or sugar

If it's an Indian curry, lemon juice. If it's a southeast Asian curry, lime. Defo.

Easy, just provide six pints of milk per person when you serve it.

Salt? Or does that only work for chilli con carne?

Cooked red lentils or oats (uncooked)

Milk if you're desperate

Sorry, notta, couldn't resist. I'd normally say it's a bit twattish to highlight a poster's typo, but hopefully you've taken my comment with humorous intent

Or you can put milk in a separate bowl, add lemon juice. It will naturally thicken. Then add to curry.

It's curdles

It leads to separation of various components. Any ground spices will become separated from the oil.

IndieRar has it right.
