Chilli powder

spice

Chilli powder

Lal Mirch Powder

2.6 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

Pure Indian ground hot red chilli has a bulk density of ~0.53 g/ml (2.6 g/tsp).

Instead of Chilli powder

Red chilli powder
Use 100% of the weight. Provides direct, sharp heat and red colour in equal measure.
Kashmiri chilli powder
Use 150% to 200% of the weight if matching colour, but add a pinch of black pepper or hot chilli if you need equivalent fiery heat.
Cayenne pepper
Use 75% to 100% of the weight. Offers a sharp, clean heat with slightly less earthy depth and less crimson colour.
