Red chilli powder is a spice made from dried and ground red chili peppers. It is commonly used in cooking to add heat and flavor to dishes. Depending on the variety of chili peppers used and the processing methods, red chilli powder can vary in color, flavor, and spiciness. It is a staple ingredient in many cuisines around the world, including Indian, Mexican, Thai, and Tex-Mex cooking. In addition to its culinary uses, red chilli powder may also have health benefits due to its active component, capsaicin, which is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, it should be used in moderation as it can be very spicy and may cause discomfort if consumed in excessive amounts.
