I made chili last night and it is to hot from the peppers I added. What can I do to cool down the spicyness?

Question

Well I was drunk when I made it and didn't remove the seeds from the peppers. So I think that is my problem.

Answer 1

OUCH!
stir is some creme fraish , ( or single creme / plain yogurt )
This will tone down the spiciness ,
without spoiling the taste

OR in desperation:

Make another chili mix (without spices )
and add some of the very spicy one , to taste

Freeze the rest
,of the red hot spicy chili,
and use it as a base , in further dishes .

Answer 2

I had bought some chili powder from the Indian spice market, and used it in my recipe. Because I had never used this product I did not realize the potency of it. Well needless to say, I followed my recipe which called for about 1/2 cup of chili powder that I usually buy at the super market. As I was seasoning the meat, I realized that I better cut the powder by half just in case. Still way too much it was truly a 10 alarm chili. I cooked more ground beef and more beans and made double the amount of chili I usually make. It was still pretty hot, but we ate it. So the solution to your problem is to make a second batch and add in the first batch, cook it long enough and cool it down properly to avoid spoilage. But this will work.

Answer 3

Serve the chili with sour cream and cheese. Dairy products will coat your tongue and will prevent hot, spicy foods from burning so badly.

You can also add some extra tomato sauce, tomatoes just to increase the bulk of the chili - and this will help with the spiciness.

Some people say add a little suger - but I would not suggest this for chili.

Answer 4

you can do the potato trick or just leave as is and serve it with sour cream. in order for your next batch to come out not so spicy you have to remove the seeds and white inner membrane of the peppers as these hold most of the capeicin (the stuff that makes it spicy)

Answer 5

Your only choice is to make an equal portion of the recipe w/o the peppers and add it to the one you already made. You can freeze it and then you will have a meal premade for next time.

Answer 6

Dilution is the solution.
Add a couple more cans of tomatoes to it.
If your pots are not very big,
take half of it and add another can of tomatoes and beens,
put the other half in the freezer for a starter batch,

Answer 7

Simmer it for a while with a potato mixed in.
Or make some more chili with no peppers in it. Chili freezes well.

Answer 8

Are you sure the pepper added spice? I think you mean the chillies, right? Peppers aren't hot.

Answer 9

A large bucket of water will do. Ok Ok yes raw potato trick works, and the idea of making more with no heat and mixing the two is a good one also. But for the quickest solution i like the bucket of water!

Answer 10

Serve it with natural Yogurt.
Or make a Second less Spicy One and dilute the hot one down with it!
