On the other hand, is chili powder and paprika the same? Not quite. Chili powder is a blend of spices, predominantly ground chili peppers, complemented by garlic powder, cumin, and sometimes oregano. Its use is pivotal in chili con carne, tacos, and meat rubs. The components of chili powder can vary, offering a spectrum of flavors from mild to intensely spicy.

There are a number of herbs and spices that will help add even more flavour to your dishes alongside paprika. Rosemary is a popular herb in Mediterranean cuisine and adds a sweet, intense flavour to grilled chicken and lamb, potatoes and roast vegetables. Oregano also pairs well with paprika. Full of flavour, it brings citrus and anise flavours to your dishes. Try it alongside paprika when you’re cooking a whole chicken, making crispy potatoes or marinade for your barbeque. And if you’re looking for a complementary spice, try cumin. It brings a spicy, warm flavour and earthy colour to a number of dishes, including meats, vegetables, potatoes, soups and stews. Paprika also goes well with caraway, garlic, ginger and thyme.
