Our Kashmiri Chili Powder is an heirloom variety grown in Kashmir. The chilis are prized for their flavor and vibrant red color, which imparts a beautiful hue to rubs for Tandoori meats and stews like Rogan Josh. The rich color and bright, sweet flavor make this chili powder a perfect everyday alternative to cayenne, and the full, round taste is a welcome addition anywhere you might use cayenne pepper or hot paprika. Ours is hotter than others you may have tried!
Kashmiri chilis, in whole and powdered form, are a staple of Indian cuisine and a welcome addition to any dish that needs a burst of flavor and color. The fresh peppers are long, slender and brilliant red, and they are prized for their classic balance of heat and sweetness.

Better than Cayanne
So we are a cayanne family. It goes on everything. But after trying the Kashmiri Pepper, I like it better! There’s a floral, and more pleasant heat with it. If you like to kick it up a notch, I highly recommend using this! It’s hotter than cayanne Give it a try. You’ll be glad you did!
