Spicy Chili?

Question

I found a receipe for Chile and it called for 3tsp of Chile powder and it is really hot. Is there any way to add something to reduce the spicey of the chile?

Answer 1

Either add some more tomatoes or beans.  If you dont have that then add some beef broth, and if you dont have that..add some water!

Answer 2

Why not just add 1 tsp of chili powder instead of 3 ?

Answer 3

Add sour cream

Answer 4

Add more tomatoes, and a little sugar

Answer 5

You will have to dilute it with the other ingredients. More tomatoes, beans, meat etc.  You will end up having a giant batch of chili but you can always freeze the excess.

Answer 6

use a chili powder with little to no heat.  For example I use a medium hot chili powder.  But you can look for a chili con carne seasoning.  A good one will have chili flavor but very little heat.  If you aren't in a hurry, check out www.penzeys.com.  They have chili powders with different heat "ranges"

Answer 7

you can reduce the amount of Chili powder or

you can add tomato ketchup or

you can add sugar

but the best is reduce the amount of Chili powder

Answer 8

Is the recipe American or European? The reason I  ask is that Americans use "Chilli Powder" which is not powdered chilli at all. It is a mixed spice containing chilli, oregano, garlic etc used to make the Mexican dish Chilli Con Carne. The rest of the world when referring to chilli powder means pure ground chillies.

Pure ground chillies is called "Cayenne Pepper" in America. This could be why its so hot!

Answer 10
