You cannot make an existing sauce milder by adding anything except liquid, to dilute it, or starchy foods to absorb the pepper, but you can alter its effect by adding ground white pepper and cooking longer.

The combination of slower cooking and white pepper will change the taste and slow the rate at which the hotter peppers already in the curry affect your mouth.

It will allow you to taste flavour in the food, instead of just heat, and it will allow the peppery spiciness to come up slowly, instead of overwhelming your mouth with the first bite.

You can hide quite a bit of pepper this way. Be assured all of
the pepper and its hotness will still be there, but its effect will be changed, both initially and inside your body, often reducing the morning-after results.

Exactly why this occurs I do not know, but it is consistent.

Caution: add no pepper of any kind prior to serving or at the table, as the additional pepper will immediately push the food to maximum hotness, often more than you had initially.

Once you add the curry mix you can only dilute it by adding coconut cream. If you're starting from scratch, use less of the curry sauce. It's a bit hard to advise you further with limited details.

Easy. Boil 1 potato. Cool it,mash it and then stir it into the curry to make it less spicy .

Also,if you have added too much salt, it will help with that as well.

A potato can also be added if you want a thicker gravy.
