    Description

    Kashmiri chilli brings a deep red colour with a gentler warmth. Stir it into rogan josh, butter chicken or a tikka marinade when you want a rich red finish. Add a little at a time and taste as you cook. Your gravy gets its moment in the spotlight, with the heat kept in balance.

    About its origins

    Kashmiri mirch is known in cooking for the colour it brings to gravies and marinades. Its name alone does not tell you where a particular batch was grown.

    All colour, gentle heat. Go bold.

    How to use
    1. Stir into a moist masala on gentle heat, taking care not to scorch it.
    2. Mix into curd with your other seasonings for paneer or chicken marinades.
    3. Start with a little, then adjust the colour and heat to your preference.

    Quick tip: For a marinade, mix the chilli into the curd before adding paneer, vegetables or meat.

    Use it in

    • Paneer tikka and tandoori marinades
    • Butter chicken and paneer makhani
    • Red gravies for vegetables or meat
    • Spiced roasted potatoes and cauliflower
    Ingredients & storage

    IngredientsKashmiri chilli.

    What it containsChilli has two useful natural components to understand: capsaicinoids contribute heat, while carotenoid pigments contribute red colour. Kashmiri chilli powder is used for its colour and comparatively gentle chilli flavour, but its exact heat and colour strength depend on the lot.

    StorageStore airtight in a cool, dry place. Keep the pack closed between uses and use a dry spoon.

    A few things you may want to know

    Still have a question? Talk to us.
    Is Kashmiri chilli powder very hot?

    It has a mild chilli flavour and adds rich red colour. Start with a little and adjust to suit your household.

    How is it different from red chilli powder?

    Kashmiri chilli powder is used for its red colour and mild chilli flavour. Choose regular red chilli powder when a sharper heat is your main aim.

    Can I use it in paneer tikka?

    Yes. Mix it into the curd marinade with your other seasonings, coat the paneer and cook using your preferred tikka method.

    Can I add it straight to hot oil?

    Use gentle heat and avoid leaving the powder in hot oil for long. Stirring it into a moist masala helps prevent scorching.

    Can I use it in tomato gravy?
