6 Best Ways to Make a Dish Less SpicyThere are a lot of ways dishes can end up too spicy: Maybe the recipe was developed using a milder version of a curry paste than what you ended up buying, or you used an especially spicy batch of fresh chiles, or you accidentally put in one tablespoon of hot sauce rather than one teaspoon, or you just dumped too much cayenne into your pot of chili. The easiest way to tone down a dish that’s too spicy is to add more ingredients to lessen the proportion of the spicy element.
