Discussion:

                                                  Why does chilli burn your mouth?:  

Capsaicin makes your mouth feel as if it is on fire because the capsaicin molecule happens to fit the receptors perfectly. When this happens, it triggers these receptors, which send a signal to your brain, fooling it into thinking that your mouth is literally burning.

                                                   Why did the milk reduce the burn?:

Milk is a solution when eating spicy foods. That's because milk helps your mouth handle capsaicin, an oily chemical compound in chilli peppers. ... Since capsaicin is fat-soluble, rinsing with milk fat helps ease the burn. Casein protein found in milk can also bind to the capsaicin and wash it away.
