When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, they can last for up to 12 months. After this, they may lose their vibrant color and potency.
Are Kashmiri chilies very spicy?
No, they are known for their mild heat and intense red color. They rank low on the Scoville scale compared to other dried chilies.
What is the best substitute for Kashmiri red chilies?
Byadgi chilies are the closest substitute. Alternatively, use a mix of paprika for color and a small amount of cayenne pepper for heat.
How do I pick the best quality dried chilies?
Look for chilies that are deep red, have a wrinkled skin, and are not brittle or broken. Avoid any with dark spots or signs of mold.
Can I freeze dried Kashmiri chilies?
Yes, freezing them in a vacuum-sealed or airtight bag can preserve their color and flavor for over a year.
How do I make Kashmiri chili paste?
Remove the stems and seeds, soak the chilies in hot water for 15-20 minutes, then blend with a little soaking water until smooth.
Why are they used in Rogan Josh?
