Kashmiri chilli powder
Kashmiri Lal Mirch
2.6 g1 teaspoon
8 g1 tablespoon
Ground mild red chilli powder bulk density is ~0.53 g/ml (2.6 g/tsp).
Instead of Kashmiri chilli powder
Nothing matches its unique combination of vibrant crimson colour and exceptionally mild warmth.
Dried kashmiri chilliGrind deseeded dried pods to an equal weight of powder; gives identical vivid red colour and gentle warmth.
Red chilli powderUse 25% of the weight mixed with sweet paprika for colour; straight red chilli powder is substantially hotter and will make the dish fiery.
Chilli powderUse one-third of the weight; the sauce will be less intensely red and notably sharper in heat.
