Chilli Powder is a ground spice made from dried chili peppers, known for its fiery heat and vibrant red color. It is commonly used to add spice and depth to a wide range of dishes, from curries and stews to soups, sauces, and marinades. Chilli powder can vary in heat, depending on the type of chili used, ranging from mildly spicy to intensely hot. It is often a key ingredient in spice blends, such as taco seasoning and garam masala. Beyond its flavor, chilli powder is rich in capsaicin, the compound responsible for its heat, which is known for its metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties.
