25.05.2023 12:00
Many people like to add a spicy touch when preparing dishes, as this is a very tasty and original idea.
However, not everyone is suitable for overly hot treats: if there is too much spiciness, then eating begins to cause significant discomfort.
If you notice that you have overdone it with the introduction of spicy components, then the situation can be corrected.
What tricks will help with this?
Sourness
A slight sourness will make the dish even more interesting and tasty, and will also help neutralize the activity of hot spices. The best option is lemon juice. Lime has a similar effect.
Some chefs note that you can also pay attention to tomato paste.
Honey
Liquid honey is often used by cooks to prepare exquisite dishes. It is often combined with piquant ingredients, since the sweet product does not allow hot spices to fully reveal themselves.
Therefore, you can try introducing a little liquid honey.
It is also believed that sugar has a similar effect. But it should be introduced in parts, since there is a high risk of introducing too much bulk product.
Dairy products
Any dairy product will cope with the task of neutralizing the spiciness, so you can choose the one that will look best within the framework of your dish.
Most often, cooks prefer Greek yogurt and milk.
Vegetables
If the consistency of the dish allows, then you can give preference to two vegetables - potatoes and carrots. They perfectly neutralize the heat.
Remember that it is better to grate the ingredients first.
