A bit of plain yogurt should help!

Refrigerator..

Make a second batch without chilis and mix the two together.

The lemon juice does work – it is offered in Indian Restaurants when customers find the dish too hot; the yoghourt suggestion helps, too.

Curry is usually accompanied by a cooling side-dish called raita, which is a mixture of yogurt and thinly-sliced cucumbers. If you don’t like cukes, leave them out and just have a dish of chilled yogurt available. Also, the single-best thing to take some of the sting out of hot food is BREAD, such as nan or chapattis or pita.

Making a second, non-spicy batch and then mixing it with the spicy batch of curry sounds pretty smart. too.

In many cuisines, the main dish isn’t made spicy: it’s served with the spicy condiments “on the side” so that eaters can adjust the ‘heat level’ to suit their own taste and comfort level.

All in all, it sounds good: I love hot food, the spicier, the better. Perhaps you just got hold of some particularly hot peppers and didn’t know it until the dish was finished cooking.

Remember that when using fresh peppers, it’s the seeds that are the hottest part of the pepper; I like to leave them in, but I’m a food-masochist.
