No, paprika and bell pepper are not the same thing. Paprika is a spice made from dried peppers, while bell peppers are a type of fresh pepper that is often eaten raw or cooked.

Now, what if you have regular paprika but don’t have the smoked variant? Can you still use it? The answer is yes! But only if you combine it with cumin and cayenne. On its own, regular or plain paprika doesn’t have the flavor that its smoked version is known for. Mixing it with cumin will bring a rich and earthy flavor, while cayenne adds heat and smokiness. With all three, you can create something close to smoked paprika.
