Introduction

If you can't get mulatto chilli then Ancho chillis will be as good BUT only use the outer flesh - DO NOT use the veins or seeds (they are very hot) the outer flesh is spicy but not hot - ground would work too - maybe 1/4 tsp but do it by smell - and ensure the ground is only the outer flesh - not the whole chilli!! It is possible to get just the outer flesh ground - I checked some online USA shops.
The amounts of the different spices really depend on personal taste, feel free to change them according to your taste.
Instead of kangaroo you can use beef, pork or chicken but the nutritional values need recalculating.
I like this dish to be spicy rather than hot, if you prefer it hot you can add hot chilli or some of the seeds from the mulato chilli according to taste.
The finished dish does not taste of chocolate at all - it just tastes pleasantly spicy.
