Toppingfrmbottom -> If Im sensitive to pepperit burns my mouth if to much is used (8/28/2011 6:44:05 PM)
Then is there any hope I can eat and enjoy Indian food? I know some is spicy and some mildly so, but keeping in mind pepper bothers me, anything just plain tasty and not spicy?

In most US restaurants, a lot of Indian food is prepared to be flavorful but not hot. Ask your server for mild suggestions.

It burns your mouth for a reason. It is the capsacin in pepper that causes the burning. It is what gives it that kick that we love and can't get enough of. Green, red, orange, and yellow peppers are sweet and mild. They have little to no capsacin in them. If it bothers you that much, then drink some milk before eating anything with peppers in it. The milk coats the tongue, throat and stomach, and alleviates a lot of the burn. Drink it during the meal and afterwards. Do NOT drink water. Capsacin is an oil. Oil and water do not mix. It will make the burn feel worse.

But I do not recommend this for everyone :)

I loooooooooove red and orange bell peppers. I eat them raw and plain. I do remember as a little kid we used to drink milk when something burnt our mouth and then we'd be all smug like neener neener you can't burn us. quote: ORIGINAL: MstrDennynSlave It burns your mouth for a reason.

Not all Indian food is spicy or even made with peppers of any kind at all. Indian food is extremely varied. There are many yogurt based types and some that are simply braised or roasted veggies and meats and even deep fried. How hot a food is and what is in the dish will just depend on which area of India the dish originated.

That is good to know! Ty.

Oh when I say pepper I'm talking about black ground table pEpper, as in salt and pepper. Not peppers like halopeno's or habinaro's or bell peppers.

Is there a black ground chair pepper?

That way you can eliminate the ingredients you do not like.

littlewonder -> RE: If Im sensitive to pepperit burns my mouth if to much is used (8/29/2011 11:19:48 AM)
if you know you're sensitive to pepper then when you order a meal you simply request that they not use pepper because you can't eat it. It's that simple.

Too much ginger can also register as hot, but many curries are not heavy on pepper but rely on other spices to flavor things. I would go to an Indian restaurant and ask.... or you could find a recipe for curry and then order a mild curry powder from a place like Penzeys that willl rate how spicy they are. When in doubt add less spice the first time you make it, you can always add more the next time.

Garam masala, what is normally caled curry powder, contains about 1/5 black pepper (depending on precise recipe). The heat in curry doesn't really come from the black pepper but from the chili peppers.

could be, who knows. quote: ORIGINAL: mnottertail Is there a black ground chair pepper?

Seriously though, yellow Indian curries tend to be made with much less pepper.

Are there any code words I should keep an eye out for. For example, zesty, is often code for spicy.

Recipes differ a lot. I find that people find Indian style breads to be the best gateway to Indian cuisine. There is a large and very tasty variety of breads in Indian cuisine. If the restaurant has a tandoor, a kind of super hot oven, it is likely they make their own naan at the very least. I've had many quite good lunches of naan and lentils with a chutney.

Yes, a mild or sweet curry is typically less spicy than some of the others. Often in Indian restaurants they will designate spiciness with little chili peppers colored in somewhere next to the item. No peppers means not spicy, 1 chili a little spicy and so on.

You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. Indian food without the spiciness is like steak without salt.

there is this one place called the Indian oven, their breads sound super delicious!!! quote: ORIGINAL: DomKen quote: ORIGINAL: Toppingfrmbottom Are there any code words I should keep an eye out for.
