One of the key factors in producing quality dried chilli padi is the selection of the chillies themselves. The best manufacturers source their chillies from trusted suppliers who grow them in ideal conditions to ensure the peppers are of the highest quality.

Aleppo chili powder has a milder heat level than hot paprika. I will describe it as a middle ground between cayenne pepper powder and spicy paprika. Thus, it's a good substitute for paprika if you want to tone down the spiciness and heat of your recipe.

Bell peppers, on the other hand, have a sweet and mild flavor, with no spiciness. The sweetness comes from the natural sugars in the pepper, which are more prominent in ripe peppers. Bell peppers come in a variety of colors, including green, red, yellow, and orange, and each color has a slightly different flavor profile. Green bell peppers are the least sweet and have a slightly bitter taste, while red, yellow, and orange bell peppers are sweeter and have a more fruity flavor. Bell peppers are commonly used in Mediterranean, Mexican, and Middle Eastern cuisine, and are a key ingredient in dishes such as fajitas, ratatouille, and stuffed peppers.

First, pick ripe peppers and wash them well. To dry the peppers using a dehydrator, start by cutting them in half. Remove the seeds, and then arrange the pepper halves on the dehydrator trays. Make sure they’re not overlapping. This allows for proper airflow and even drying.
