Red chilli powder

Red chilli powder is a spice commonly used in cooking to add heat and flavour to dishes. It comes from dried red chilli peppers, which are ground into a fine powder. The vibrant red colour of the powder is a characteristic feature that makes dishes visually appealing.

To make red chilli powder, red chilli peppers are dried and then ground into a powder using a grinder or mortar and pestle. The level of spiciness can vary depending on the type of red chilli peppers used and whether the seeds are included in the grinding process. Some people prefer a milder version, so they may choose to remove the seeds before grinding.

Red chilli powder appears on food labels as a seasoning to enhance the taste of various dishes. It is commonly found in spicy curries, chilli con carne, marinades, and sauces. Adding red chilli powder can give a pleasant kick of heat to your favourite meals, but it can also be adjusted to suit different levels of spice preferences.
