Chilli con carne is far too hot..

[SimplyTes]

....went OTT with the chilli (extra hot dried flakes) and is now almost inedible - just tried some and I am now crying. Have added more tom and tom puree any other tips - cheers

natural yoghurt stirred in and more and more toms !

Sugar will help cool it down

Thank you and surprisingly for me I do have natural yoghurt - chilli has another hour to cook, do I put it in now or B4 I serve?

I'd put it in as I served it

and then give it to me I love super super super spicey food.

No such thing - drink more wine with it

a splash of vinegar will take away the nippyness of the chilli but leave the taste

Does the potato thing that you do with too much salt work with too much chilli?

You are my kind of person Stationarypawn!

ketchup - adds a nice sweet flavour,
plus cocoa powder
and of course yoghurt

I had a thread with the same problem the other day. The potato thing works.

Good to know!

Yes do the potato thing. But also serve with natural yoghurt and let everyone add their own to taste. (Mix DC's for them if young)

What is the potato thing I missed it and have just cooked a red hot chilli!

Chuck in a can of chopped toms, keep cooking it will reduce and be less spicy! Get some sour cream to have on the side!

What is the potato thing please

Add another can of beans

Sour cream will help with the heat!
