About

Chilli powder is a hot powder which can be used in cooking – added to curries, pastes, dressings and as a seasoning flavour for those who like it hot. The characteristic pungency of chillies comes from the presence of capsaicin, which stimulates the digestive and circulatory processes.

Uses

Chillies can be used whole (fresh or dried), or in powdered form. Chilli powders are prepared from a variety of mild to hot chillies and are typically milder than cayenne pepper. Chilli powder is the perfect addition to any savoury meals where a little extra spice is needed - such as this Black Bean Chilli w Cashew Cream or any curry or roast vegetable medley. This powder goes perfectly with any tomato-based recipes, such as spaghetti sauce, pizza sauce or devilled sausages.
