TL;DR

Ask for food without chilli, using “without mirchi” if needed, though some ginger and a little chilli may still be present. Relatively mild options include dosa, idli, aloo paratha and sometimes butter chicken; in Delhi, brunch at Tamra in the Shangri-La is about ₹4,500 excluding alcohol.

For a milder breakfast or snack, choose dosa, idli or aloo paratha and ask for it without chilli (“without mirchi”). Idli is often served with sabzi that may still be spicy because it is prepared in advance with spices.

If a dish turns out too spicy, order rice alongside it to reduce the heat. Water is less effective; a sweet drink or dessert can also help after eating chilli.
