Question: is there a difference between ancho chili powder and chili powder?
Answer: Anchos are dried and roasted poblano peppers. ... An ancho chili powder is 100% ancho peppers, just like a chipotle chili powder would be 100% chipotle peppers (dried and roasted jalapeños). The chili powder (or chili seasoning) typically found in a spice rack is often cut with other spices like cumin, garlic, and oregano.
