We use this powder in almost all the dishes but I guess we all don’t pay enough attention to this when we really should. We buy red chilli powder from the stores that comes in sealed sachets, including me for various reasons. I was quite shocked upon hearing news that many adulterations takes place in the powders that people use. One such powder is chilli powder where they adulterate it with brick powder and food color powder.

Hi,
If you are using microwave can you please tell the mode and time that is required.
Radhika
Hi, you need to spread it on the plate, choose microwave mode and set the temp at half and timer for 2 mins. Leave it on the plate itself for another 2 mins after switching it off with the door partially open, so that the chilies get dried well

could Byadagi chillies be used instead of Kashmiri? I read somewhere that Byadagi chillies have less heat.
Radhika
Hi Prachi, Yes you can. While both byadgi and kashmiri chilies give a good color and have less heat, byadgi chilies alters the flavor of the powder and cannot be used in all recipes, esp the North Indian ones.

Thank you. Does one have to wash the chillies before drying them?
Radhika
Hi Neeraja, no need to wash them before drying.
