Khade Mirch (Whole Dried Red Chilies)
Khade Mirch, or whole dried red chilies, are sun-dried, naturally preserved chili peppers used to add heat, aroma, and rich color to Indian cooking. Whether tempered in hot oil or ground into masalas, they bring bold spice and flavor to curries, dals, pickles, and chutneys. Rich in capsaicin, they also support metabolism and digestion.
