What is Kashmiri Lal Mirch?

Not Just Any Chili Powder

Kashmiri lal mirch is a variety of dried red chili known for its deep red color and mild heat. Unlike other chili powders that scorch the tongue, Kashmiri lal mirch imparts a subtle warmth and a vibrant red hue, making it ideal for recipes where color is as important as flavor.

This spice is commonly used in North Indian, Mughlai, and Kashmiri cuisines. It’s an essential ingredient in dishes like Rogan Josh, Dum Aloo, and Tandoori recipes, offering both aesthetic appeal and mild pungency.

Lal Mirch Powder vs Kashmiri Lal Mirch – What’s the Difference?

Understanding the Terms

While many use the terms "Lal Mirch Powder" and "Kashmiri Lal Mirch" interchangeably, there’s a clear difference.

• Lal Mirch Powder generally refers to any red chili powder made from hot varieties of chilies and has a higher Scoville heat rating.
• Kashmiri Lal Mirch, however, is known for low pungency and high color content.

That’s why Kichnam ensures clear labeling and 100% authentic sourcing, so you know exactly what you’re cooking with.
