If you have over seasoned your dish with chillies during cooking there are a few ways too reduce the heat. If the dish will allow it, add some milk during the cooking, cook for about 10 mins and then drain, add more milk and repeat until the heat is at an acceptable level, If you cannot add milk then add water instead. Yoghourt can also be very effective and can be served on the finished dish.
Another way is to add a carrot or tomatoes as this should sweeten the dish. Coconut milk is another excellent way to reduce the heat and sweeten the dish. Adding cheese to the finished dish dilutes the burning sensation.
