Author Topic: Green chilli powder  (read 8,447 times)

AI Summary
The discussion centers around the absence of green chilli powder, with one user humorously comparing the question to why men have nipples. Another user shares their experience of making red chilli powder from dried Habanero chillies, noting that chillies typically turn red when they ripen, which may explain the preference for red chillies in powder form. Overall, the replies do not provide a definitive answer to the original question.

I brought some Habanero chillies (red and orange colour) from tesco then dried them in a very low oven for an hour, then i ground them to powder in a coffee grinder and they came out red/brown colour, Bloody hot chilli powder!!!! even darth would be proud to use this stuff.

Anyway i think they mainly use red chillies for chilli powder, chillies turn red when they ripen.
