Who would have thought that when you combine tomato sauce with chili powder, you end up with one of the best substitutes for paprika? The tomato sauce will provide the required color and a bit of umami-ness, while the chili powder will add the kick of spice and heat.
Paprika & Chili Products: A World of Flavors
The term paprika can refer to both the whole dried peppers and the ground powder made from them. In some contexts, paprika may specifically refer to the whole dried peppers, while paprika powder refers to the ground spice. However, in most culinary discussions, the terms are used interchangeably to refer to the powdered spice.
I use cornflour as a thickening agent in my sauce. The mixture may look watery at first, but after the cornflour slurry (equal parts cornflour and water) is added, it develops a thicker consistency. However, you can also use potato starch or tapioca starch if that’s what you have on hand.
