Most of us have chili powder in our kitchen and this is a powdered form of the chilli pepper. Usually, this spice is made from either cayenne or
red peppers
and comes in a range of heats. There’s mild chilli powder for those with a more sensitive palette or
hot
chilli powder if you prefer more of a kick.
Chilli powder is largely considered to be one of the best paprika substitutes out there and it’s bursting with flavour. However, if you want something super hot, then it’s probably not the right choice but you’ll be fine to add it in the same amount as paprika.
