Crushed red Chili?

[Brian in So Cal]

I grind up crushed dried chili's to make a powder. Does anyone know what they call this in a powder form already? It can be a PITA for me to grind this. I looked at several chili powder's and they all have other ingredients in them.

Thanks

If I'm understanding what you are describing, the chiles used in "dried crushed chiles" are usually chile de arbol.

Subtle spelling difference: chile vs. chili

Thanks Hank, That is where I was being thrown off. Great article.

Moose, yes that is what I crush up. I need to find it in powder form or get a better grinder!

You can usually find it in ground form in Mexican markets.

A coffee grinder does it fine for me.

Just get you some cayenne pepper.

In the spice aisle it is called Ground Red Pepper ( I used to work in the spice industry/ Microbiologist).
