In summary, while both paprika powder and chili powder are used to add flavor and depth to dishes, they have different ingredients and flavor profiles. Paprika powder is made from ground dried peppers and is known for its color and varying levels of heat, while chili powder is a spice blend with a distinct earthy and slightly spicy flavor.

If you wonder whether you can substitute one for the other, the answer is yes. You would use a lot less red chili powder, even if it is of the milder variety, than you would paprika. In fact, the best way to go about this is add it slowly and in small amounts, till you get the heat factor that you want. In a pinch, you can use paprika instead of red chili powder as well, though you may not get the color that you want and the flavor may be different.

Pasilla pepper powder is made from one of the most popular Mexican chilies: chilaca pepper or chile negro. From its name, you probably already guessed that its color differs from hot paprika.
