Made my chili too hot/spicy! I need to mellow it, I made a large batch.?

Tomato soup or tomato sauce/paste will distill it.

A potato only takes some salt out of broth. sorry.. I have tested this and its the salt in the potato thingy...

I have done the same thing so many times.. I put half of the chili in a refrigerator container and keep it cold til I can use it.

Now with the rest, I make a box or two of macaroni and cheese and stir it in. It breaks up the heat and actually is good chili mac. We like it so well I make it like that purposefully when we have eaten half the pot of chili.

Now this is only for the chili experimental.. With the macaroni and cheese chili.. I add a big can of peaches that I chunked up. It was delicious if you like something different. I tried it with straight chili, no mac and cheese, and it was equally wonderful.

Sounds wild huh.. but I won a chili contest with it... it is 'different' chili.

RE: my chili 2 hot/spicy!

When making hot dishes, eg. tandoori chicken,1 mixes plain yogurt+masala etc. If I use less spice & more yogurt it helps. +yogurt. Serve rice & 'sambals'. Ingredients vary:-chopped tomatoes, onions, cucumber, grated carrots, OMIT CHILI. +chopped bananas & coconut 2. #Midge

Sour cream is what people in India and Pakistan use when they've made their food too spicy. It helps a lot.

You could add a 14 or so oz. can of stewed or crushed tomatoes. Add mor if needed.

try plain yogourt this is what Indians use to soften the spice

when my food is tooo spicy i add a lil' sugar. it always work for me. good luck!

try adding tomato soup

add honey

yes, potatoes
