this is true - but I didn't have any to hand! (i do now!!!) Capsaicin is the bit that is hot, but it is an oil so doesn't dissove in water , but does dissolve in acid, fat and alcohol -dairy products have lots of fat, so any old one should dull the pain! I did get used to it after a while! The curry was rather tasty! I have some left over for this evening so it will be even better tonight!
Glad to know you are not walking around minus head . It tends to make steering difficult. Do you think the headless horse man lost his through incautious use of spices .
A good curry should be hot ,i believe that creamy things can take the burning away
ReplyDeleteA thick plain yogurt takes away the "burn"!
