Kashmiri red chilli

The Kashmiri chilli is smaller, rounder and less pungent but lends a very bright red colour to the food. They are bred for their high colour retention as they redden anything capable of absorbing colour. The Kashmiri red chilli powder is a blend of medium quality red pepper mostly used for tandoori dishes and the famous dish Rogan Josh. Red chilli powder is said to help maintain healthy skin, bones and teeth.
