I love chili but my main problem living in the UK is a lack of good actual mexican style chilis. I would love to get my hands on some chipotles, but alas.

FYI you can get a chipotle paste in Waitrose that does the job... now finding Ancho chillies..

Chilli in the UK is generally absolutely crap for all sorts of reasons, the main one being I've never met anyone who doesn't just use standard supermarket chilli powder. This is largely due to the variety of dried and fresh chillis being fairly non-existant outside of searching online or very rare specialist shops.

My local supermarket had a massive overhaul of their fresh fruit and veg section and there are now 4 chillis available after years of some generic red chillis and birdseye if you're lucky

Yeah, this. As a brit, what passes for Chili in the UK is pretty grim. I'm lucky enough to be able to get a bunch of different chilis nearby to make my own powder, but everyone thinks I'm weird for not making my chili with minced beef :/

They do give a nice colour if you use enough... I use a cup of dried ground Kashmiri chilli powder to make vindaloo (proper vindaloo doesn't have tomato in it, it becomes red just from the chilli) but they have almost no heat and relatively little flavour... It behaves more like paprika than proper chilli.

I know this is the chili thread, but could you post your Vindaloo recipe somewhere? Been looking for a good recipe forever.
