Hathi Kashmiri Chilli Powder

Kashmiri chili powder is a type of chili powder made from dried Kashmiri red chilies, which are known for their vibrant red color and relatively mild heat compared to other chili varieties. It's a popular spice in Indian cuisine, particularly in dishes from the Kashmir region, and is prized for its deep, rich color and mild, slightly sweet, and smoky flavor.

Unlike hotter chili powders, Kashmiri chili powder adds a beautiful red hue to dishes without overwhelming them with intense spiciness. This makes it ideal for dishes like Kashmiri Rogan Josh, Kadhi, and Paneer Tikka, where the color and flavor balance are key.

Kashmiri chili powder is typically used in both whole and ground form, and it often serves to enhance the appearance and flavor of curries, rice dishes, and stews. It’s also a common ingredient in spice blends like garam masala.

Besides its culinary uses, Kashmiri chili powder is often valued for its antioxidant properties and is believed to aid in digestion.
