Simon Gault – Cooling curry

Is there a way we can tone down the heat, without losing the flavour

My husband and I like a hot curry, but our children don’t. As you can imagine, this is very frustrating. Is there a way we can tone down the heat?

There are a few things you could do here. The first is to halve your curry, put the kids’ portion aside and add a couple of chopped potatoes, then leave for half an hour or so. Remove them and reheat. Hopefully they will have absorbed some of the flavour. Another option is to stir plain yoghurt, fresh cream, crème fraîche, or even some coconut cream into theirs just prior to serving time.
