where do i find this stuff. i couldnt find it at either whole foods or HEB. i am making some chili that calls for this, but all i have is jap granules. will this work?
You could substitute "chipotle powder", which is smoked jalapeno powder. Central Market should have it. Very good stuff, and I recommend keeping it in stock. I have a shaker that has a mixture of both ancho and chipotle powder in it and use it on a lot of stuff.
i didnt even think about that. i actually think that i have have chipolte powder. i ended up using the jap granules instead. i think that it is going to turn out fine.
well i just used jap granules for the chili that i made. still turned out delicious. i used nothing but spices in my chili for the first time. i am gonna go back to my old recipe.
i guess i should of mentioned that i live in houston now. the whole foods right next to me didnt have the stuff. i even asked someone, which i never do. i am not sure where the closest central market it though. anyway thanks.
anyone have some good recipes that use jap powder?

If you are looking for jalepeno powder, or any other herb or spice in Houston, go to Penzey's Spices on 19th St. in the Heights. They have everything there. Better prices than WF and CM on most of their stuff. The Link
