What can you do if you add too much curry to a dish?

Answer

Scrape it off with a knife.

If there's a way to "get some of it out" before it's stirred in, do so. Usually one doesn't find out about the overage until the stirring is done, though. Then it's time to dilute or cover the taste. It might be possible (if there is time) to put a couple of thickly sliced potatoes in the curry and let them cook there and absorb some of the seasoning. If not, find a way to dilute the mixture, perhaps with instant potato mix and water. Certainly you'll want to do this a bit at at time. The theory is that you can always add more, but it's kinda hard to get out that which is mixed in. Oh, sorry. You already knew that. A bit of brown sugar will sweeten and deepen the flavor, if you can get away with it in the recipe.

Bon appétit!
