Hyderabadi Chicken
I followed the recipe and using sweet paprika and 1/2 tsp of cayenne, made the sauce quite hot. I then looked up the Keralla-style chicken recipe and it only called for sweet paprika and 1/4 tsp of cayenne, which would have been more to my tastes. Not sure if both recipes were to be 1/2 or 1/4 cayenne with sweet paprika to substitute for the Kashmiri chilli powder.

Hi Helena -
Sometimes we modify the substitution depending on each individual recipe's goals as the substitution is technically 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of cayenne. So it is correct that we called for 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in the Kerala-style chicken and 1/2 teaspoon in this recipe. Feel free to reduce the amount of cayenne to your own tastes.
