Red Chilli Powder

Red chilli powder is a vibrant, powdered spice made from dried red chili peppers, primarily used to add heat, color, and complexity to dishes in cuisines like Indian, Mexican, and Mediterranean. It is rich in the active compound capsaicin, which provides its fiery flavor, along with vitamin C and other beneficial nutrients. The powder’s heat level varies significantly depending on the specific chili varieties used, which can range from mild (like Kashmiri chilies) to intensely hot (like bird’s eye chilies).
