TRS Kashmiri Chilli Powder is a finely ground spice made from dried Kashmiri red chillies, prized for its vivid red colour and mild, fruity aroma rather than intense heat. It lends dishes a beautiful natural red hue and a subtle warmth that enhances flavour without overpowering, making it a favourite in Indian and South Asian cooking for curries, tandoori marinades, sauces, dals and chutneys. The powder is ideal when you want rich colour and gentle spice; it blends well with other spices and oils and works equally well in marinades, rubs and finishing touches. To keep its colour and aroma at their best, store TRS Kashmiri Chilli Powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use within 12 to 24 months for optimal freshness.

How to use: start with a small amount — for most recipes 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon per serving is a good guide — and adjust to taste, since this chilli powder emphasizes colour over extreme heat. Add it early in the cooking process to deepen flavour, or stir in near the end to preserve its bright red colour. Mix it into yogurt or oil for marinades and tandoori pastes, combine with other spices for masalas and rubs, or sprinkle lightly as a finishing touch to brighten soups, stews and grilled vegetables.
