Dried red chilli
Sukhi Lal Mirch
0.5 g1 teaspoon
1.6 g1 tablespoon
1 g1 whole chilli
Whole dried chilli averages 1.0 g; loosely packed cup is ~25 g (0.52 g/tsp)
Instead of Dried red chilli
Dried kashmiri chilliUse equal weight whole. Fry in hot oil or ghee as tempered spice; gives a richer red colour with slightly milder heat.
Red chilli powderUse 50% to 70% of the weight. Stir into the oil with ground spices; distributes heat evenly throughout the dish without whole chilli skins.
