spice
Cayenne pepper or Kashmiri chilli powder
Lal Mirch
1.9 g1 teaspoon
6 g1 tablespoon
Ground red chilli bulk density ~0.38 g/ml; 4.93 ml gives ~1.9 g.
Instead of Cayenne pepper or Kashmiri chilli powder
Kashmiri chilli powderIf replacing cayenne, use about twice the weight for similar colour but much less heat. If replacing Kashmiri chilli powder, use the same weight.
Chilli powderUse 50–60% of the cayenne weight, or 60–70% of Kashmiri chilli powder weight, as it is hotter and less fruity. Add gradually and taste.
Mild paprikaUse about twice the weight for colour. It gives almost no heat, so add a little green chilli or chilli powder if the dish needs pungency.
