Ingredients
  

  • 10 dried Kashmiri chilies

Instructions
 

  • Begin by removing the stems and seeds from the dried Kashmiri chilies.
  • In a small skillet, toast the chilies over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will release their flavors and make them easier to grind.
  • Allow the chilies to cool before grinding them into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
  • Store the chili powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, leave some of the seeds in the chilies while grinding.
  • You can also mix Kashmiri chili powder with other spices like cumin and coriander for added depth
