[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got invited to a dinner Friday night. They are getting takeout from an Indian restaurant.  My body can NOT handle spice/heat.  At all. Like, if you sprinkle pepper on scrambled eggs, I gulp down two big glasses of water. So far all I know I can eat is naan. If I accidentally eat something with heat, it burns my mouth for two to three days.  I read an article on Serious Eats about how to expand your ability to eat spicy foods, and it doesn't work for me.

Is there some sort of plain-ish chicken dish I can order?  Some modification I can ask for to get it the least spicy it can possibly be?   Please help - I really want to see my preschool-aged niece and luckily she didn't inherit my sensitivities to food.  So I can't ask them to order from a different restaurant since that would be rude, and I don't want to just decline the invite. [/quote]

If you can't handle black pepper, then just order plain white rice or naan, and cucumber raita. I wouldn't bother asking the restaurant to making something mild if you can't even handle black pepper. There's nothing wrong with eating plain rice with raita -- I'm Indian and I do this all the time.[/quote]

+1. Yogurt rice was always eaten in my house after eating spicy foods. It's a very typical meal. Just order it and enjoy meeting up with your family![/quote]
