Rani Kashmiri Chilli Whole

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!

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.

So great super spicy perfect

This product was of high quality and came in good time.

The package says "Low Heat". That may be true for people in India, but just a little goes a long way for my taste (and I generally like hot spicy foods).

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!

Great color and spice smell

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
