NOTES
The chili powder used in this recipe is North American style. If you are in the UK or Europe DO NOT use 2 teaspoons. UK chili powder is 100% chili and is spicy and hot. The chili powder in North America is different. It is mild and contains a mix of spices. Use a max of ½ teaspoon and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika too. Or if you don't want any heat omit the chili powder and just use smoked paprika.
