Answer 2

Lager

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

Perhaps a little single fresh cream if you have some.

Answer 6

I would use either coconut milk or yogurt for a more complementing flavor.  If you don't have that, go for cream or milk.

Answer 7

mint riata is yummy although it is sort of yogurt

take some yog, add some lemon juice, mint sauce, and a wee bit of salt, mix, eat with your curry.

you can substitute the mint with chopped cucumber or onion or a mixture of these.

also drinking water DOESN'T help. tea does.

enjoy your curry. xx

Answer 8

Add peeled raw potato, cut fairly large (as you will need to be able to find them in the sauce). Simmer for a good 10 minutes and fishthem out. They will absorb a lot of the fire.

Answer 9

Chopped tomatoes.

Answer 10

may seem weird and such but;;

Answer 16

You can either increase you ingredients or eat it with other dishes to balance off the spiciness. Yogurt and sugar will usually do the trick though.

Answer 17

add some milk

Answer 18

Don't use so many spices next time.

Answer 19

mix a little vinegar, lemon juice or tomato puree, it will take heat off the curry

Answer 20

Take out half the sauce and freeze for the next batch. Into the remaining hot curry sauce, add 1 cup water with 1 tbsp corn starch diluted in it. Stir.

If the sauce is with the meat, try adding cubed or grated potatoes.

Answer 21

Well you could add some/more veg and water it will make it thinner, and maybe some lemon juice.

Answer 22

coconut milk or cream

Answer 23

coconut, mango slices, banana slices, sweet pickles, yoghurt

Answer 24

Adding cream to Indian dishes is perhaps the most sinful way of enhancing curry in taste and texture; it kills the dish! Unless the recipe calls for "coconut milk", it would alter the authenticity of the dish if it's added (same with yogurt/sour milk). To reduce the spiciness the only way is to half the required amount of curry powder, or choose a curry mix for "korma" which is milder. I wouldn't want to eat any Indian curry dish watered down with any cream, yogurt, coconut milk or sugar.

Answer 25

blow on it

Answer 26

stir in plain yogurt

Answer 27

Answer 28

really there is no way to "cool" curry down it's an Oriental spice.

Answer 29

Coconut milk  or fresh cream goes well :)

Answer 30

I use ordinary milk but evaporated milk will do just as well.
