CHILLI POWDER

Red chillies are one of the most commonly used spices. In their powdered form, they are often used in Indian curries to add flavour and a rich colour. There was a time when our grandmothers would sun dry fresh red chillies and then pound them to make the powdered form which was stored and used frequently. Over the years, we've moved to buying packaged red chilli powder for the sake of convenience.
