Kashmiri Chilli Powder 1kg

Recipes & Uses

Perfect for Butter Chicken

Kashmiri Chilli Powder is an excellent choice for Butter Chicken, where it contributes the rich red colour and gentle chilli warmth associated with the dish.

Combine it with spices such as garam masala, cumin and coriander for a deeply flavoured curry sauce.

Ideal for Tandoori Chicken & Paneer

Mix Kashmiri Chilli Powder with yoghurt, garlic, ginger, garam masala and lemon juice to make a colourful tandoori-style marinade.

Use with chicken, paneer, fish or vegetables before grilling, roasting or barbecuing.

Excellent for Chicken Tikka Masala

Its bright colour and moderate heat make Kashmiri Chilli Powder particularly useful in Chicken Tikka Masala and other tomato-based Indian curries.

It gives sauces a deep red appearance without requiring an extremely hot chilli.

Great for Biryani & Rice Dishes

Add a small amount to biryani, pilaf or spiced rice for extra colour and gentle chilli flavour.

It works especially well alongside cumin, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves.

Use in Rubs & Roast Vegetables

Kashmiri Chilli Powder isn't limited to curries.

Combine it with garlic, cumin and salt for chicken, lamb or vegetable rubs, or sprinkle lightly over potatoes and cauliflower before roasting.

Add Colour to Chutneys, Raita & Dressings

A small pinch can bring both colour and gentle warmth to chutneys, yoghurt sauces, raita and savoury dressings.

How to Use Kashmiri Chilli Powder

Add directly to curries and marinades, or gently bloom it in warm oil or ghee to help release its colour and flavour.

Avoid excessively high heat, which can scorch chilli powder and create bitterness.

Kashmiri Chilli vs Regular Chilli Powder

Kashmiri Chilli is generally chosen when you want strong red colour with relatively moderate chilli heat.

Regular chilli powders can vary considerably in heat, while Kashmiri chilli is particularly valued for balancing colour, flavour and warmth.
