Went into the cupboard this morning looking for ingrediants to make a pot of Chili. Didn't have any Chili powder, but did have some dried Chilies in the 'fridge I had purchased several months ago.
I opened up four good size dried chilies and discarded the seeds, then cut the chilies up into small squares, put them in some warm water and into the blender. I then dumped the resultant mixture in the crock pot with the other usual ingredients.
Is this a suitable replacement for the chili powder I usually use?
Does the amount sound about correct?
Don't know yet how it will turn out, because it's got a couple of hours yet to cook.
