Kashmiri Red Chilli
The beautiful red color and moderate heat of Kashmiri Red Chilli have made it a favourite spice in Indian cooking. Dried Kashmiri red chilies are used, and the seeds are removed before the chilies are pounded into a powder. The high concentration of carotenoids in Kashmiri Red Chilli gives the fruit its signature deep red color. The rich crimson color brought about by these pigments enhances the foods' aesthetic value. Kashmiri Red Chilli is not as fiery as other types of chilies. Its versatility makes it a favorite in Indian kitchens, where it is used in everything from marinades and spice rubs to stews and curries.
