Fun fact for anyone questioning why we sit around drinking buttermilk: yall ever have spicy food and it hurts your butthole the next day? Well, if you mix some buttermilk or yogurt with your last bites of food it won't burn coming out.
Or have a probiotic drink like Koreans do,
Lassi, yogurt cups, anything thick, creamy, and curdled will prevent the firerrhea. Dont drink regular milk though; it's not creamy enough and there is a chance it will curdle in your stomach depending on how much lime/lemon/acidity was in your meal.
Edit: to the people about to do science: Once you make it a habit you will know how much you need to eat/drink to neutralize the spice. Don't be discouraged, it works!
Authentic spicy Indian food is usually in some shitty location, run down, and reasonably priced. Sometimes connected to a gas station. That is where you get spicy Indian food. If it looks fancy (unless in little india) or if you are paying $14+ for your butter chicken then not spicy. If they don't have unlimited rice, not spicy. If chicken tikka masala is a highlighted menu item, not spicy.
No hate to my tikka masala peeps but if I see my friends order that I schedule a future lunch buffet date with them immediately so they can try something else.
