Red chilli powder is a commonly used spice made by grinding dried red chillies. It is available in various grades, from mild varieties like Kashmiri chilli powder, which imparts a vibrant red color to dishes, to hotter varieties such as Birds Eye chilli powder, known for its fiery heat. Chilli powder, on the other hand, is often a spice blend that includes ground red chillies, cayenne, and additional spices such as cumin, paprika, Mexican oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt, depending on the region and recipe. Chilli, a fruit from the Capsicum genus, has multiple varieties, each differentiated by its pungency level, which is measured using the Scoville Heat Scale. The heat level of red chilli powder can vary greatly depending on the type of chilli used. When the chilli fruit ripens and is dried, it becomes the red chilli, which is then ground into a powder. This spice is essential in many cuisines, particularly in Indian, Mexican, and Southeast Asian dishes, contributing both heat and depth of flavor. Red chilli powder is a versatile ingredient, not only used for its spicy flavor but also for its vibrant color, making it an integral part of many sauces, marinades, and dry rubs. Whether used for cooking or seasoning, red chilli powder adds both color and kick to a variety of dishes.
