Chili powder is a versatile spice that adds heat and flavor to a variety of dishes. There are many different types of chili powder available, each with its own unique flavor profile and level of spiciness. Understanding the differences between these types can help you choose the right one for your cooking needs.

Apart from Indian dishes, red chili powder is used in other south Asian and some far eastern Asian cuisines as well.

Paprika is often used for seasoning meat and is a common ingredient in rubs, marinades, sauces and stews. So make sure you have some nearby the next time you fire up the barbeque. In the US, you’ll see paprika sprinkled over deviled eggs, eggs benedict and french fries to give a spicy kick, and it’s often scattered on top of creamy soups to add both colour and sweetness. It’s also sprinkled on top of hummus and used as a substitute to flour for thickening sauces. Add paprika in pasta sauce, or any tomato-based dish to add a burst of flavour and gorgeous colour. The next time you cook mac and cheese – try adding smoked paprika – it takes it to a whole different level.
