Chilli Powder
Chilli powder is Bold, unapologetic, and capable of turning a tame dish into a fiery fiesta. Made by grinding dried red chillies, it’s the backbone of heat in cuisines around the world, especially Indian, Mexican, and Korean.
Here’s why it packs such a punch:
Metabolism Boost: Capsaicin, the compound responsible for the burn, is known to rev up metabolism and may help reduce inflammation.
Spice Power: It ranges from mild warmth to blistering heat, depending on the type of chilli used—think Kashmiri for color, Guntur for intensity.
Flavor Layering: Beyond just heat, it adds depth and smokiness to curries, stir-fries, pickles, and marinades.
Color Pop: That vibrant red can make any plate more dramatic and appetizing.
