Kashmiri Red Chilies or Kashmiri Laal Mirch are characterized by their ability to give a dark red colour to food, capable of colouring and adding flavour, while at the same time not allowing the food to become too pungent or spicy.

Kashmiri chilli is a vibrant red chilli (pepper) from the region of Kashmir. With a vibrant red hue, it is grown more for its colour and flavour, than for its heat.

More commonly used dried and as a powder, the Kashmiri mirch, as it’s known in Hindi (mirch = chilli), is an essential ingredient in the South Asian kitchen (Indian subcontinent).

The dried chillies have a very crinkly, deep red appearance. This is the first indication that you’ve got the real thing. The next thing you have to do, is take a bite. If it’s even the slightest bit hot, it’s not the real thing.

Hitting just 1000 – 2000 on the Scoville Scale, the Kashmiri chilli is super, super mild. As a point of comparison, the mild jalapeño comes up at 5000 – 8000 Scoville Units.

This is why in South Asian cooking, it is used to colour dishes and not to impart heat, for example: tandoori or rogan josh.
