Kashmiri chilies are a variety of chili pepper known for their vibrant red color and mild heat. They are primarily grown in the Kashmir Valley of India and are prized for their rich flavor and ability to enhance the color of dishes without overwhelming spiciness. These chilies are often used in traditional Indian cuisine, particularly in dishes like Kashmiri Rogan Josh and Kashmiri Dum Aloo. They are typically dried and ground into a fine powder, which is a staple in many spice blends, adding both color and a subtle warmth to various recipes.
