What is the difference between Red Chili Powder, Paprika, and other types of Chili Powder?
If you are cooking Indian food, you need to go to a local Indian grocery store and ask for the red chili powder. It will generally come in a sealed packet. Indian red chili powder is very spicy, it is not sweet or smoky, like the chili powder used in Mexican food. A little goes a long way. Paprika is smoky, sometimes sweet, but there is no heat in Paprika.
