I use this chili to cook meat curries. However, I have an exacerbated skin issue due to this chili ingestion. Therefore, I need a substitute that has the same fragrance but is not hot.

I tried to use green bell pepper. However, it doesn't work. Bell pepper is too juicy, and the fragrance fades away after cooking.

How can I properly use bell pepper in my meat curry?

if the issue with the skin condition is due to the heat of your chili, I think the way to go is "piment vegetarien". It is improperly called vegetarian pepper due to its lack of heat, it's commonly found in French Antilles and French Guiana. To my knowledge there is no english term for those kind. Lots of flavor, no heat, I think it's worth the try

I have found an example here: https://arawakmarket.com/epicerie-fr/epicerie-salee-fr/sauces-and-condiments-fr/piment-vegetarien-en-morceaux-190g/?sl=en

And close species listed on the french wikipedia (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_de_vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9s_de_piment):

  • Bahamian chili pepper (there are 2 kinds, one with heat, one without)
  • Sweet Datil Pepper
  • Aji dulce

Hope it was what you were looking for
