Dried Kashmiri Red Chillies & Powder

The greatest asset of a good cook and one main ingredient that gives a lovely red glow and spice to either vegetarian or non-vegetarian dish is the variety known as Kashmiri chilli. This chili is mildly hot in taste. Kashmiri chillies can be bought in all Indian grocery stores in whole or in powdered form. In all my recipes I have used only Kashmiri chilli powder although in some recipes I have omitted the word ‘Kashmiri’ due to lack of space.
