Spicy World Kashmiri Chili Powder Red 7 Ounce Resealable bag | All Natural Low Heat, Chili Powder - Red Pepper Powder

I recently purchased the Spicy World Kashmiri Chili Powder Red (7 oz), and it’s a fantastic addition to my spice rack! This all-natural, Indian-origin powder delivers a vibrant red hue and mild heat (1,000-2,000 SHU), perfect for dishes like butter chicken and tandoori chicken. Its smoky, fruity flavor adds depth without overwhelming spice, ideal for my family’s varied tastes. The resealable bag ensures freshness, though I transferred it to a jar for convenience. My only issue is it’s spicier than expected for some recipes, so start with less. Great quality and value for authentic Indian cooking

I would say the heat for this chili powder is about the same as a medium jalapeño. Or if you were to take paprika and cayenne pepper and equal amounts and mix them, about that hot. I don’t taste much smoky flavor. Seems to be a good chili powder.

What a great spice what did I do before I found this. A cooking friend told me about this when I said I wanted a bit more red in my grilled chicken. I used this and I love the flavor and the mild heat. No more trying to get the red I want for my grilled chicken from just paprika. I refuse to use artificial dye. The flavor has what I considered a mild hot to it and the burn is short lived, I am replacing this for the red cayenne pepper in my daily cooking. I will use the cayenne if I want something hotter. My family are whimps so they like the milder Kashmiri chili powder.

I bought this so I could try an America's Test Kitchen recipe for "Goan Pork Vindaloo" that I saw on their TV show. They emphasised that it was really mild and the recipe calls for 3 TABLESPOONS of Kashmiri Chilli Powder. When I made the dish, following the recipe to the letter, it was HOTTER THAN HELL. Lovely flavors, but my wife was unable to eat it and, as for me, it certainly cleaned out the sluices at both ends! I would recommend cutting the quantity of the powder to maybe 1/3 of the recommended amount (which I will do next time) or trying a different brand of powder.

If you want to add a unique spice to your cooking, this is a good choice. It has more heat than paprika, but it's not so much that it becomes unpleasant. I put this in just about everything. It arrived well packaged, and it's a good value for the money.

Bold and flavorful

Used it in butter chicken and it came out good 👍

Love this chile powder
