"Most Unusual Chili"

We went to a chili cookoff tonight. Very filling! I decided to try a different kind of recipe. As I like curry these days, I located a curry chili recipe on the internet. It was "Indo-texan Curry Chili" from epicurious.com. I made a few substitutions (lime leaves instead of lemon peel, Patak's red curry paste in place of the cumin, coriander, and curry powder) and added a can of kidney beans. It was fairly mild and quite yummy. I even won an award for having the most unusual chili. (Truthfully, there was a Thai chili that was even more unusual than mine.) I wonder what kind of twist I can do on chili next time...right now I'm thinking of "Borscht Chili"....
