Beautiful aroma filled the room while the package. Just what I've heard of Mathania red chili. Colors are bright red. All Chilli are almost equal in size. Mathania red Chilli are actually agricultural product of Rajasthan and are famed for its aroma and taste. Colour and sizes are completely different from Chillis available in West Bengal. There are over 400 families of Chilli available worldwide and more than 20 species are found I India. About 36% of dried red Chilli and Chilli powder productions are from India.The taste and pungent odour that accompanies Mathania red Chilli is different from other equally famous Chillis available in India,like Kashmiri red Chilli(Kashmir), voot jolokia(Nagaland), dolley Khorsani( Sikkim and Darjeeling hill area), or Indore Chilli( Indore). Kashmiri red Chilli has dashing red colour; both voot jolokia and dolley khorsani famous for their spicy hot taste; Indore chillis for their size and Mathania Red Chilli for their captivating aroma and taste. Mathania chillis are spicy hot but not unbearable and it has got colour and pungent odour too. Overall Mathania red Chilli can change taste and appearance of food where it is used.

This is not mathania chillies and are mixed with normal chillies. However quality is good.

There a lot of chillis in India which are common and popular. However, the knowledge of this chilli has stayed contained within the Marwar people. According to a report by Central Arid Zone research Institute, Mathania chilli is on the verge of extinction. Now, with Shirsh Masala the beauty of this chilli can be shared across the country, so it can be used and kept alive for the future generations.In terms of the quality of this chilli, there are three points to highlight: color, aroma and flavour.Like a beautiful bouquet of roses, the bright and deep red captivates the senses. The aroma tantalizes and tickles your nose from the moment you open the package. What a gorgeous smell! Finally, the taste. It mild, but deep and distinctive. It leaves a flavour that will dance on your tongue in a very special way.Overall, I would highly recommend as it really adds a unique experience to any recipe, especially if you are using it for Rajasthani preparations. The authentic Laal Maas cannot be complete without using this product.

Ok,I do.

Had ordered it in Sep 2020 for famous "laal maans" recipe. I was doubtful on using that much amount of red chilli (because of the past experiences in other brands which ruined my dish & mood). Smell was mostly like the usual red chillies BUT it was actually good. Got the nice reddish color in the meat plus a different flavour. Little costly but overall worked as expected and hence found it genuine.Edit: I used it twice later with same amount of meat & mirch and same recipe. It came out much spicier than first time. Seems there's mix of regular spice as well (I have my doubts). Reduced 2 stars. Color wise it's coming good but taste wise apart from first time, it was too spicy.Second Edit: This is "VERY IMPORTANT". Kindly use the chillies after removing the seed and thereafter use them with the mentioned quantity. Seems seeds are adding the additional flavour. Colorwise it's still good and authentic. Have used them twice without seeds and it worked as expected.
