Oooohhh…!

Great snack for a stay in movie nights. I substituted paprika with home made chili powder to set my tongue on fire, and had it with lambic beer! It was YUMS!

Food is great. Cooking is way better.

Home made chili powder! Yum. How did you make it?

Re: Popcorn Chicken Nuggets

Well it helps when you know someone who operates a manual grinder….

I usually dry out the chilli i like (solar power or toaster oven), plus a bit of garlic or whatever other spices I might want to add to the kick, go see my fav indian grinder person and have it done!

Alternatively, you can put it through a coffee grinder, set on super fine guage. Thing is, with a coffee grinder, all the oils from the bean would get into the chili powder, and not all grinders have that super fine powder setting.

Food is great. Cooking is way better.

Solar power… don’t get much of that in London. Thanks for the response. It sounds like fun. I’ll try it!
