DESCRIPTION - Kashmiri chilies are medium-hot and less spicy, but give a very bright red color to food. They are bred for their high color retention, as they redden anything capable of absorbing the color. Kashmiri chili powder is a medium-quality red pepper blend used primarily for tandoori dishes.
PREPARATION AND USE – • This chili is used fresh, dried, wrinkled, or ground. • It is used to add flavor and color to curries, vegetables, sauces, soups and stews. • It's also popular in marinades along with chopped onions and tomatoes. The chili imparts a rich red color when added to the sauce, making the dish a feast for the eyes. • Fried or dried chili is used to make hot sauce, a bottled condiment.
THE HEALTH BENEFITS – • It is rich in vitamin C which helps develop immunity. • Vitamin C is also very useful for skin and blood vessel health. • Kashmiri Chilli powder is a good source of antioxidants which are vital in controlling free radicals and converting them without turning into free radicals.
