chilli/chili/chile peppers

Chilli peppers (of all colours) are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes.
The chilli pepper (also chile, chile pepper, chili pepper, or chili) is the berry-fruit of plants from the genus Capsicum which are members of the nightshade family, Solanaceae. Chilli peppers are widely used in many cuisines as a spice to add pungent 'heat' to dishes. Capsaicin and related compounds known as capsaicinoids are the substances giving chilli peppers their intensity when ingested or applied topically.

    Chilli Con Carne and its variations

    There was a little bit of discussion in the 'What did you cook today' thread about the Chilli Con Carne and whether to use cubed or minced beef.

It can be used as an accompaniment to other vegetable or meat dishes, or on its own with chappatis and a cucumber...
