Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Kashmiri chilli whole different from other dried chillies?

Kashmiri chilli whole is unique for its brilliant red colour and mild heat. It's ideal for dishes where you want a vibrant appearance and subtle spiciness, unlike other dried chillies, which may be spicier but lack the same vivid hue.

Can I grind whole dried chillies into powder?

You can grind whole dried chillies into powder using a spice grinder. Toast the chillies lightly before grinding to enhance their aroma and flavour. Kashmiri chilli whole is especially popular for making mild, colourful chilli powder.

How do I reduce the spiciness of dried red chillies?

Remove the seeds and inner membranes from the chillies before using them to reduce heat. For a naturally mild option, use Kashmiri chilli whole, which provides flavour and colour without intense spiciness.

How should I store whole dried chillies to maintain their freshness?

Store whole dried chillies in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and sunlight. Proper storage will preserve their vibrant colour, flavour, and shelf life for up to a year.
