i made some butter chicken from scratch and grabbed what i thought was paprika ..... the recipe called for 3 tsps paprika and 1/2 tsp chilli powder ...... well i made a mistake and ended up putting 3and 1/2 tsps chilli powder in it ........ it was so hot i couldnt eat it , my man and i tried everything we could think of to try and de heat it .... added dried apples , sultanas, cream , yogurt,, tomato ketchup every thing
it was absolutly horrid .... my darling was very brave and was able to eat some me i couldnt cope with more than about 3 mouthfuls ..... does any body have any ideas what i can do if accidently do the same thing ever ever again ......... it made me feel terrible i dont normally have any kinds of problems in the kitchen and it was just a lousy end to a lousy day

tessa,
Obviously you can't kill your "man" with chile powder. Perhaps it's the extramarital affair you're having or pressure at the office that invades your powers of concentration? Or, you need glasses.

Where was all that paprika? In a sauce? If so, maybe rinse the sauce off the chicken? I'll BET, though, that you'll never again make the same mistake with this recipe. -- -Barb <http://jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 4-30-2006, Dead Spread, Sam's Festival of Nations costume, and latest church review.

Throw away the chicken. And next time, mix the spices **BEFORE** you start drinking.

Seems like a lot of paprika but whatever. It's a mistake you've made and hopefully learned from it. It's about like the time I made a pumpkin cake and forgot to add the sugar to it... UGH was it nasty.

I am not familiar with "Butter chicken' but google turns up a lot or Indian recipes that seem primarily to use the chilli powder in a marination and then a sauce.
If this is the case with your dish you might consider rinsing off all the chicken and then sitting it to simmer for 1/2 hour or so, preferably in good stock but wine or plain water will suffice.
A low simmer so you don't over cook your chicken and yet hot enough and long enough to dilute any remaining chilli powder that might have worked its way into the chicken.
You could then use the chicken in some other way. A curried chicken salad might be nice.

Throw it out. Sorry, but life's too short to eat food that tastes bad, or to spend hours trying to rescue a plate of chicken.
:o) i wasnt trying to kill him ..... hes wonderful , and i dont need the extra marital affair ...... dont have time or inclination for one of thos lol he keeps me on my toes **grins** i have glasses and i had them on at the time lol i was having a very blonde day yesterday , i didnt realise about the chilli untill we tasted it just before serving i couldnt remember if i had put salt in the recipe. you marinate the chicken in the the spices and yogurt then cook it in a hot pan. I seemed to have the midas touch in reverse yesterday everything i touched turned to doggy doos :o(
I think I might consider adding a couple of cans of beans + a few cans of tomatoes, maybe some fried onions. Let the lot simmer for a while, serve with rice and/or a salad. Chicken Chili 🙂

He ate some of it , we had naan bread with it which wasnt good either, it was just one of those days , i ended up tipping most of it in to the rubbish bag, and my dinner that night ended up being bread and peanut butter and cheese
