Rani Kashmiri Chilli Powder

Smells lovely, tastes lovely, looks lovely, great value for the amount I got. Wonderful color. I've already used it for butter chicken, a curry powder, and keema matar, and this was so worth it for me. I find that most Indian or south Asian recipes adapted for Westerners call for paprika in place of this, which does basically work, but this stuff is fantastic and I think adds to the authentic flavor. Beautiful red-orange color, with a cleaner, more fruitier chile-pepper forward flavor than the paprika substitute. I put as much as I could into a glass jar to preserve the color and flavor as long as I can, and when I run low on certain types of paprika, I think this will actually be a great substitute. This is the first time I've actually bought Kashmiri chili powder, so I can't compare expertly to other brands, but I'm very happy with this.

Great smell, Very rich in color, fresh and the flavor is perfect. Great deal for the price❤️ I wish I had bought a larger bag!

I wanted to prepare a dish from my Rasika cookbook, and it called for deggi mirch. At first, I couldn't find it, either in local stores or here, so I looked up substitutions I could use. Many said to substitute cayenne, but then I went to the cookbook and it said to NEVER substitute cayenne for deggi mirch, that it had a different flavor profile. Ugh. But, lo and behold, when I ordered tamarind paste for the same recipe, this came up in my recommendations even though it hadn't appeared in my search. I ordered it right away. I'm glad I did. While it does have the spice of cayenne, it added great flavor to the dish. The bag is not resealable, and it does contain enough spice to last for a while. I decided to store mine in a jelly jar to keep it both contained and fresh. -- Debbie Lee Wesselmann

Good product with low heat

Was looking for this Rani spice for my korma. I couldn't find this at my local vanilla grocery stores. It is a good amount too. It filled up a pint jar. Smells and tastes nice and warm with a bit of spice to it. Will work great for many recipes. It is just an all around tasty spice!

Fantastic! I love chili powder, and I use it in a lot of things, from tuna (recommended!) to vinaigrette dressing to beans and rice to chili and curries to omelettes. This is easily the best I've ever had, with a lot more nuance and "notes" to the flavor and the smell. Your first whiff will be enough to tell it's a superior, quality product. I would (and do) recommend it to my family and friends. Absolutely dreamy. If you don't think you can get through this much of it yourself, you could always make little gift packets and give them to your friends and family. They *will* appreciate it. My only (and super minor quibble) is that I wish the package had a ziplock, but really, I should just decant a small amount into a small container. It would probably stay fresher that way too. Thumbs up!

Great flavor and makes the food a perfect spice for the family

Very good

It’s hilarious that they say “low heat,” because, honey, not, it ain’t. Low heat for Indian folks, maybe, but I find it quite hot. Still, I looooove this stuff. It’s fruity but spicy. It’s not like the smoky heat from Mexican chili powders, so you can add this to a lot of recipes. I use it in everything from my Berber eggs (like shakshuka but Moroccan spices) to my Israeli beef to my refried pinto beans and more. I will often use it in addition to my varied Mexican chili’s because it’s got a great flavour profile. I used an 85gr jar of it but I’ve lately begun using it so much more that I picked up the 400gr bag. Highly recommend. But brace yourself and add it delicately until you know how much you like. Great quality, so fresh, I won’t hesitate to buy more Rani products. (I also use their turmeric and amchoor and love their quality.)

Switched to this brand after concerns in the media over contamination of another brand. Great colour and depth of flavour and aroma when used in a Ruby curry. Excellent value and quick delivery.

I've learned Rani products are fabulous, fresh & flavourful and are of high quality. I've lost track of how many Rani products I've bought over the years and this newest order is for the Rani Kashmiri Chilli Powder. It has warmth but it's not volcanic. It has a rich flavour profile and is adjustable (of course) by adding more or less powder to your recipes. We're foodies in this house and everyone takes turns making something that's not 'western' bland. We cook recipes from all over the world, and Rani spices are our go-to for flavourings. Highly recommended!

Not the same quality as my first purchases from them.
