I plan to make Karens:

Tabil Spice Mixture
1 1/2 Tbsp. caraway seeds
1/4 cup coriander seeds
2 dried red chilies
Roast the spices in a dry frying pan over medium heat until fragrant. Cool and finely grind in a coffee grinder.

But when I want to register it at Fitday, there are no records for dried red chili (no records here either incl. Low Carb Tools section). There is only raw or canned chili or "chilipowder" or "cayenne pepper" to choose from. What would be my best bet, esp. measurewize, since a fresh chili contains lots of fluids which take up a lot more space/the density of cayenne is of course much higher...

F.ex:
1 tbs chilipowder: 3 carbs (1.44 net carbs)
1 tbs red raw chili, chopped: 0.894 carbs (0.752 net carbs)
1 tbs red canned chili, chopped: 0.437 carbs (0.326 net carbs)


Yes, I'm utterly carb rigid... lol.

hi there,

In Fitday, try entering " Peppers, hot chile, sun-dried ".
