Dry Red Chilli, Packaging Size : 1Kg, 5Kg, 10Kg, 20Kg, 25Kg

Dried chilies are used in Indian cooking in various ways:

1. Whole Dried Chili: Used for tempering (tadka) by frying briefly in hot oil or ghee at the beginning of a dish to infuse the oil with heat and aroma (e.g., using Mundu or Guntur chilies).

    

    

2. Powder: Ground into fine powder to add color and heat. It is common to blend low-heat, high-color varieties (like Kashmiri) with high-heat, low-color varieties (like Guntur) to achieve a perfect balance.

    

    

3. Paste: Soaked in warm water and ground into a paste with other spices to form the base of marinades for tandoori dishes, curries, and gravies.

4. Pickles & Chutneys: The high pungency and robust flavor of certain varieties are essential for making spicy Indian pickles (achaar) and fresh or dried chutneys.
