[super1971]

does anyone know what to do , its lamb but its a touvch too hot

[compo]

add more cream I think

[fairydust]

natural yogurt or cream

[super1971]

single or double or does it not matter?

[colditz]

cream or yoghurt

[lucy5]

coconut milk or creme fraiche or natural yoghurt.

Creme fraiche makes it lovely and creamy.

i would add yoghurt at the table

I vaguely recall adding a potato to it helps - but that could be to get rid of too much salt. Sorry, not much help but a thought.

[super1971]

will it be okay to reheat once it has cream or yoghurt in it?

[lucy5]

Anything creamy will do the trick.

someone once told me honey...but maybe thats chinese food??

[nailpolish]

thats why i would dish it up and add it at the table to your taste

[lucy5]

put the cream in near the end or just before reheating so it doesnt curdle

[super1971]

tried a potsato but it didnt do anything to hottrness, thanks

I was thinking potato too cadders but you're right, it is for salt (in soup IIRC)

[cadbury]

I knew I'd heard it somewhere lol!

Never mind. I'm sure some yogurt will help. That was going to be mny next suggestion.

On that little BBC2 show 'Trade Secrest' the chef put in some lemon quarters, stirred them around (sorry don't know how long for) then took them out and apparently some of the hot-ness goes with them.

add a teaspoon of sugar, then taste it, and add more till it tastes ok. Always do this to my portion of curry as DH likes them hotter than me

Chilli is soluble in fat/oil so you could add whole milk yoghurt to cool it down. Another thing you could do would be to mix a lot of oil into the curry, stir it around and then skim it off (you might need to heat it up as well before skimming). Be warned though that no matter how much you skimm you will end up with a much oilier curry than you started with.

add natural yoghurt and MASHED BANANA (really!)

[MarsLady]

natural yogurt!

milk!

cream!

[MillionaireMummy]

Did it recover, super1971?

[angelp]

you can boil double cream but think single will curdle if it gets too hot. Mango chutney is also good for cooling down

[super1971]

Had a bit of a brainwave inspired by all the suggestions and the motivation to save all that lamb. i cooked biriyani.
I sandwiched the lamb meat mixed with double cream and very little sauce between some rice and baked it, then squeezed lemon over it before eating and it was okay family stunned at biryani and it was okya, cheers everyone.
