    Just lal mirchIngredient list: red chilli
    Description

    Lal mirch powder brings a sharp warmth and bold colour to the pot. Stir a little into dal, sabji or curry, or mix it into a marinade for a more spirited bite. Add gradually and taste along the way. The chilli should make an impression, while leaving room for the rest of dinner.

    About its origins

    Guntur in Andhra Pradesh is closely associated with red chillies, while Karnataka’s Byadagi chillies are known for colour with gentler heat. The variety and blend determine what reaches the pan.

    Add slowly. Heat does not come back out.

    How to use
    1. Start with a little in your masala, then adjust to your preferred heat.
    2. Cook gently with a moist base to keep the chilli powder from scorching.
    3. Mix into curd, oil or another marinade base before coating your ingredients.

    Quick tip: Already using green chillies or a spicy masala blend? Start with less red chilli powder.

    Use it in

    • Dal tadka and everyday vegetable sabjis
    • Chicken, paneer and mixed vegetable curries
    • Curd marinades and dry spice rubs
    • Spiced potato fillings and savoury snacks
    Ingredients & storage

    IngredientsRed chilli.

    What it containsRed chilli powder naturally contains capsaicinoids, including capsaicin, which contribute heat. Its red colour comes from carotenoid pigments such as capsanthin. Colour and heat are different qualities, so a darker red powder does not by itself tell you how hot it will taste.

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

    Questions about our lab results

    What does lab tested mean?
    The report names the product sample, the checks carried out and the result of each check. Different products need different tests, so the full report tells you exactly what was covered.
    What does below quantification limit mean?
    It means the amount was below the level the test could reliably measure as a number. It does not mean zero. The report gives the test’s limit.
    What does volatile oil tell me?
    Volatile oils contribute to a spice’s aroma. This test measures the oil content; it is one quality measure alongside the other checks in the report.
    Why is moisture checked?
    Moisture is the water present in the sample. Measuring it helps assess the product’s condition and suitability for storage. It is not a shelf-life guarantee.
    Are curcumin and curcuminoids the same?
    Curcuminoids are a group of compounds that includes curcumin and contributes to turmeric’s colour. A curcuminoid result should not be presented as a separate curcumin result.

    What customers are saying
    Product FAQs

    A few things you may want to know

    Still have a question? Talk to us.
    How much chilli powder should I use?

    Start with a small amount and adjust for the dish and your household. Taste once it has mixed through and cooked.

    Is it the same as Kashmiri chilli powder?

    Red chilli powder gives a sharper heat. Kashmiri chilli powder is a milder option when you want rich red colour in a gravy or marinade.

    Can I put it into a tadka?

    Yes. Use gentle heat and add it briefly before finishing the tadka. Chilli powder can scorch if left in very hot oil.

    Can I use it in a marinade?

    Yes. Mix it evenly into curd, oil or your chosen marinade base with the other seasonings before coating the food.

    Will adding more only change the colour?

    It will also increase the chilli heat. Add gradually and judge the flavour, rather than using colour alone to decide the quantity.

    How spicy is it?

    This powder brings a sharp chilli kick; start small, then adjust to the quantity of food and your taste.
