Kashmiri Laal Mirch, also known as Kashmiri red chili powder, is a vibrant and mildly spicy chili powder popular in Indian cuisine. Sourced from the lush valleys of Kashmir, this chili is prized for its bright red color, mild heat, and slightly fruity flavor. The Kashmiri chili pepper itself is smaller and wrinkled, and when dried and ground, it transforms into a powder that enhances the color of dishes without overwhelming them with heat.
Often used in curries, tandoori dishes, marinades, and biryanis, Kashmiri Laal Mirch adds depth and a rich hue to food, making it visually appealing while lending a gentle, warm spice level suitable for those who prefer a milder taste. Its unique flavor and color make it distinct from other red chili powders used in South Asian cooking.
