Kashmiri chilies are a staple of Indian cuisine known for their vibrant red color, usually sold dried, with a mild heat and flavor. One of the most prized chilies originating from the subcontinent is the famed Kashmiri Chili, though this particular pepper is known more for its color than for its heat.
We strongly recommend this chili for drying and making ground chili powder. No other chili will give color to a dish like Kashmiri Chili.
Scoville Heat Units: 1,000-2,000 SHU
When it comes to the spice level, Kashmiri Chilies are not particularly spicy. At best, these provide a mild heat level and are perfect if you require a moderate level of spiciness in your food. They are better used for their gorgeous red color and delicious, zingy aroma than intense heat and spice. They are rated at 1,000-2,000 Scoville Heat Units on the Scoville Scale. Kashmiri chili is hotter than paprika and milder than cayenne.
As bright and eye-catching as Kashmiri Chilies are, they are not particularly known for their unique or overpowering flavor. Apart from providing a mild heat, they do provide a full and tangy taste, fruity in its nature.
