Jalapeño chilli

Jalapeño Mirch

15 g1 medium jalapeño (about 15 g)

Medium jalapeño about 15 g.

Nothing matches jalapeño's mild fruity heat exactly; green chilli plus bell pepper is closest.

• 
  Green chilli

  Use 40-50% of the weight, deseed for less heat. It is hotter and less fruity, so add gradually.

• 
  Green bell pepper

  Use the same weight for bulk, plus 5-10 g green chilli per 100 g for heat. Milder and more watery.

• 
  Red bell pepper

  Use the same weight with a pinch of cayenne pepper or green chilli. Sweeter and less grassy.
