How to Use the Dried Chiles?

  • Use a dry skillet and fry dried chilies over medium flame for about 2 minutes. This will release the essential oils and produce more flavour.
  • After that, soak them in hot water for 15-20 minutes and then cut into desired size.
  • Grind them into flakes or powder and add them to your dish.

What are the Different Types of Dried Chiles?

Take a look at the following types of dried chiles:

  • Dried chile ancho and dried chile Mulato

The Mulato and Ancho are both dried varieties of the Poblano. They are different variations in several ways and the primary difference is the time of harvest. Ancho peppers are picked when they are harvested ripe and red, on the other hand, the Mulato peppers ripen on the plant even longer until they almost fall off the plant and are dark red. The dried ancho is slightly fruitier in flavor than dried Mulato which has a smokier and riper flavor. Both peppers are mildly hot.

  • Chipotle – smoked and dried

A chipotle is a smoked and dried red Jalapeno pepper. They are spicy and sweet in taste, and have smoky smell. Because the Jalapenos are completely ripened, they come with extra flavor and are sweeter compared to the fresh green Jalapeno peppers.

  • Dried Chipotle Morita

The Chipotle Morita chili pepper is a smoked and dried red Jalapeno pepper. The primary difference between Chipotle Morita and chipotle pepper is that the Morita pepper has not been smoked as long, making them softer when it comes to flavors, which helps in retaining their fruity taste. They are rich in flavor and primarily used in Mexican cuisine. The Jalapeno starts out green in color when its on the plant, but they ripen to a red color if they hang on the plant long enough. Morita peppers are harvested once they are ripe and dark red in color. The red Jalapenos are then dried and smoked lightly. And as a result, they are known for their mildly spicy, hint of smoky, and fruity flavor.
