Kashmiri chilli powder is the favourite of chefs as this adds the unique flavour and colour of chillis, while imparting only a mild pungency to the dish, making it easier for them to serve a wide range of guests and patrons.

For all mummies and daddies, this is a magic ingredient when your little darling wants a red, red chicken curry but you know that she will not be able to handle the heat and you do not want to use food colour.
