Notes & thoughts

Used crushed chillies and added 2 tbsp peri-peri, plus the 1 tbsp of chipotle and garlic powder. Had no cayenne so used a pinch of paprika instead. Accidentally added a tsp of turmeric — tasted a little like a curry, try without it next time. Used this to make https://www.hairybikers.com/recipes/view/chilli-con-carne — it was spicy, so maybe skip the peri-peri next time.
