hey ,
recently found this out, tried it, and it works…to much red cilli powder in your salan, add a couple of black olives (the whole pitted in a can kind ) let it sit for about forty minutes and presto! they absord the chilli flavor, fish them out, and no after taste of the olives or anything!!! enjoy!
ciao
oh wow
thats a mega useful tip
thanks lola! 
irem, you wont believe where I found this tip..on QVC...they were plugging this book named 'grandma's house hold tips and remedies' and were demonstrating some tips , and the host -lady says, 'well, red chilli powder is coming more into use with mexican and indian cooking, so here is a tip .... "
aah.... those QVC ladies, after all the dents they make in millions of poor unsuspecting souls' wallets.... I got a freebee out of them! :P
