So to get rid of adulterations and chemicals always prepare Red Chilli Powder at home. Homemade spices add taste, flavour and aroma to your recipes. Also the quality of the homemade masala is far superior to the readymade one.

Homemade Red Chilli Powder is very easy and quick to make at home. Just make it once and store it to use for months.

NOTES

While grinding you can add 1 tsp salt , to prevent the freshness of the powder when stored for a long time and you won’t get any small bugs or insects also.
You can also microwave them if you are using lesser quantities.
Some don’t remove the stem .
The colour of the Red Chilli Powder depends on the quantity of Kashmiri Mirch added along with Red Chilli. Also adding Kashmiri Chilli enhances the flavour and is less spicy than the Red Chilli. It gives flavour as well as colour.
You can also prepare the Red Chilli Powder with only Long Red Chilli. The colour will be light red and it will spicier.
