Our chili powder is sourced directly from Kashmir by esteemed farmer and agricultural expert Abdul Majeed Magray. This versatile spice is more in line with paprika than cayenne, making it a welcome addition to traditional Indian dishes such as tandoori chicken. Fun fact: red chili powder is said to aid in digestion and nasal congestion.

Origin
Lethpora Village, India
Abdul Majeed Magray grew up in a farming family and is a well-known and respected farmer and agricultural expert. He resides in the Lethapora Village of Pampore Town in the Kashmir Valley's Pulwama District. Often referred to as the "Saffron Town of Kashmir," Pampore Town is a highly fertile area known for producing the world's highest-quality legendary spice. Two of Majeed's sons hold doctorate degrees in plant science and sociology, while his other son is a mechanical engineer. All three sons work shoulder to shoulder with their father, farming the land where he grows Kashmiri chili peppers, saffron, apples, berries, vegetables, Mamra almonds, walnuts, and more.
Tips for Success
Sprinkle Kashmiri red chili powder on roasted vegetables, meat, or seafood for a pop of color and flavor. You can also mix it with yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, and ginger to make a flavorful marinade for chicken or lamb.
Add Kashmiri red chili powder to sauces to give them a rich color and a slightly spicy flavor. Try adding it to tomato-based sauces like tikka masala or butter chicken.
Kashmiri red chili powder is slightly less spicy than other chili powders, but it can still pack a punch. Use it in moderation and taste your dish as you go to avoid making it too spicy.
