Delicious and spicy. Made heaps! I used 2 jalapenos, a small red thai chilli, and about 2 cups 'sweet' horn chillies instead of peppers. Only 1 & 1/2 tsp hot chilli powder, some paprika and 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa. The heat level was perfect for me, with a good kick! Neglected the TVP, but will use next time for extra texture. I will make this again, thanks for posting!
