So wait, you just told me it's different than chile powder (which is just dried chiles), but a heaping teaspoon of chili powder is equal to a whole chile pepper? A chile pepper doesn't have any cumin or anything in it. How can that be? -65.27.76.113 20:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

No, India is not the earliest use of chilies, since they are American in origin.Mydogtrouble (talk) 18:42, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Is there a reliable source for the distinction between "chile powder" and "chili powder"? I've heard conflicting reports on this one; apparently mostly based on hearsay. Confuseddave 15:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

I have attempted to clarify the paprika issue by clarifying the distinction between powdered chiles, paprika and cayenne.

I have also mentioned some of the additional ingredients used in many varieties of chili powder but have not added them to the recipe given.

We use chilli powder in south Indian cooking. This means only powder form of red pepper no cumin added.So the distinction between chilli powder and Chile is confusing. We need to see what is practically used terms and clarify it from there.

I HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE READS THIS BECAUSE I CONSIDER THIS A JOKE. IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHILI POWDER AND CHILE POWDER - YOU BET, A MAJOR ONE TO ANY COOK. CHILI POWDER HAS BEEN ADULTERATED WITH SPICES SUCH AS OREGANO & CUMIN, WHILE CHILE POWDER IS PURE, GROUND FROM ANY NUMBER OF VARITIES OF CHILES SUCH AS ANCHO, GUAJILLO, NEW MEXICO, HABANERO, CHIPOTLE, (Kokopelli's Kitchen (talk) 02:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC))

[edit] Article

This article needs to be written in a more formal tone, with references made to sources.

Is this some sort of joke? How is the reader to distinguish between the two? Why not just make it a tiny piece of the real chili power page? I will try to re-write this article, but I think its almost a hoaz. Seth J. Frantzman 23:54, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved to Chili mix

I have moved this article to Chili mix to end the confusion and I have done some editing. Seth J. Frantzman 00:15, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Salt

I believe this stuff usually contains salt. This should be noted. Badagnani (talk) 01:33, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
