About Vasant Kumthi Kashmiri Chilli Powder (Mild Lal Mirch)
Vasant Kumthi Kashmiri Chilli Powder is for cooks who want a dish to look deep red without making it fiery. It is made from sun dried Kumthi chillies from the Byadgi region of Karnataka, a variety known for strong colour and gentle heat.
The flavour is mild and slightly aromatic, with just enough warmth to be noticed. That makes it a good match for children, older family members and anyone who finds regular lal mirch too hot. Vasant cleans and processes each batch in a hygienic facility with minimal handling, and the powder has no added colours or flavours, so the red you see comes from the chilli itself.
Use it in rogan josh, butter chicken, paneer makhani, malai kofta and other rich gravies where colour is part of the appeal. It is ideal for tandoori marinades, tikkas and kebabs, and gives a warm red tint to sabzis, snacks and masala fries. Many home cooks mix it with a hotter chilli powder to get both colour and spice in the same dish. In Gujarati kitchens it is often asked for as Kashmiri marchu.
Pick from 100g, 200g, 500g, a 500g jar and 1kg. Masala365, an authorised Vasant Masala distributor in Kandivali West, delivers across Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Thane. Orders from other parts of India can be placed through a WhatsApp inquiry.
