Red Chilli Powder – Kashmiri

Red Chili powder, cayenne and paprika, all these spices have a vibrant red color and looks very similar, but they are made from different kinds of chilies.

Kashmiri red chillies are smaller, rounder and less pungent but give a very vibrant red colour to a dish. The kashmiri chilli powder is a blend of medium quality red pepper mostly used for tandoori dishes. The roasted kashmiri chilli has a very pleasant aroma.

Description

While in India, I was only aware of chili powder which was added to almost all Indian dishes that imparted the needed heat. Usually, we use two types of chili powder: the regular hot chili powder and the mild Kashmiri Chilli Powder which imparts more color than the heat.

After I started cooking non-Indian dishes, I was introduced to two other spices that resembles to chili powder: paprika and cayenne, these are commonly used in Spanish, Mexican and American cuisines.
