Chili Powder

A hot, pungent spice powder that brings significant heat and boldness to dishes, regular chili powder is a kitchen essential across Indian, Mexican, and many other global cuisines. Unlike its milder Kashmiri counterpart, it's used primarily for spiciness rather than color.

Flavours: Hot, pungent, sharp, with a deep earthy and slightly smoky undertone

How to Use: Add to hot oil or ghee early in cooking to bloom its flavor before adding other spices, especially in curries, marinades, and gravies. Widely used in spice blends, rubs, and sauces to add heat and depth; adjust quantity carefully to control the spiciness of the dish.
