FAQs
Kerala chilly is known for its balance of heat and rich red colour with a distinct smoky-fruity undertone. Kashmiri chilly is mild and prized for colour; Guntur is extremely hot. Kerala chilly falls in the medium-high heat range with excellent colour and aroma — making it ideal for South Indian cooking where both colour and heat matter.
Dry the chilies in sunlight for 1–2 hours. Remove stems. Dry-roast in a pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Cool completely. Grind in a mixer grinder to desired fineness. Freshly ground chilly powder has significantly superior colour, aroma and heat compared to pre-packaged commercial varieties.
Yes. Kerala chillies are rich in capsaicin — which has pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties. They are also an excellent source of Vitamin C (even in dried form) and carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin) that support eye health. Regular moderate consumption supports immune health and metabolic function.
To reduce heat: remove seeds and membranes from dried chillies before use (they contain most of the capsaicin). Add dairy (yoghurt, coconut milk, cream) to the dish to neutralise capsaicin. Acidic ingredients like tamarind or lemon juice can also balance the heat. Start with fewer chilies and add to taste.
