How to use

Ingredients

  • Red chili powder

Instructions

  1. When making curry, add alongside coriander powder etc. when onions/tomatoes are fried and moisture evaporated.
  2. Since it dissolves easily in oil, stir-fry firmly on low to draw heat and red pigment throughout the sauce (*Caution: burns become very bitter).
  3. Mix into Tandoori Chicken marinade or fried batter as a base for color and heat.

Trivia

[Hardcore] While 'Kashmiri Chili' is mainly for coloring and not spicy, this is powder to add 'pure heat'. Indian homes blend these two types to create their own golden ratio for adjusting heat.

Eating tips & etiquette

[Unique Eating] When heat is lacking, sprinkle directly more over the finished dish, forcibly triggering a scorching spice experience that numbs the tongue!
