Too much pepper...............?
I was cooking some Indian style veggies for the first time and put way too much ground black pepper in it.
Any remedy?
Example: Vinegar to "cool" overly spicy food, wrapping over cooked beef in a wet towel etc...

About all you can do for pepper would be to make more of the sauce and do not add pepper to it.
This will dilute the pepper without changing the flavor of the rest of the dish.
Never heard of wrapping over cooked beef in a wet towel.
Dairy is used to "cool" spicy dishes but those are actual peppers not the spice peppercorn.

Add raw potatoes to the dish and simmer them with it for 20 minutes. Then take out the potatoes; they absorb some of the flavor and add starch to dilute more of the pepper.

Sour cream takes the heat out of chili, so maybe that would work for your veggies.
