Kashmiri chilli powder is the name given to a certain type of powdered chilli pepper which is mildly hot and has a distinct flavor. They are very mild chilies with a deep red hue and a characteristic wrinkled skin when dried. The Kashmiri Chili Powder instantly imparts a vibrant red color to any dish with a hint of heat. Used commonly in Indian cuisine, Kashmiri chilli powder is coveted in India as it adds a bright red color and a distinct flavour to the food.

Kashmiri chillies are also in high demand since there is only a short supply in India. You can identify dry Kashmiri chillies by their medium size, cone shape, wrinkles, and dark red color. Today authentic Kashmiri chilli powder is a rare condiment to get your hands on because of the rarity of authentic Kashmiri Chili in the markets. Apart from few companies like Quality Food Products who still produce export grade Kashmiri chili powder, the condiment is quickly becoming a rarity in the Indian markets.

You can opt for common chili powder instead of Kashmiri Chili powder, which is easily available in the markets and adds a hot pungent taste to the dishes,  but if you want flavor and the bright red color in your dish, it’s worth your time and effort to hunt down a box of decent Kashmiri chilli powder.
