Kashmiri chilli powder in a Kerala kitchen

Kashmiri chilli is the chilli Kerala cooks reach for when a dish needs colour more than heat. It gives meen curry its deep red, and the same goes for chicken fry, egg roast, beef and chicken roasts, and the masala for fish fry. Many cooks mix it with a hotter chilli powder to get the colour of one and the heat of the other.

Tip: Fry it on low heat for under a minute, with a splash of water if the pan is dry. Chilli powder burns fast and turns bitter.

How it is made

The Kashmiri chillies are dried and ground at home in Kerala by Salma's family, in small batches. We pack it in Greater Noida West, and every pack carries its packing date.
