I did some googling and found the Product Description posted here CUT-OFF the last sentence (the picture was a little out of focus), the rest of the description on the label reads, "... Rani Chili Ground comes from the Kashmiri chili grown in the northern most part of Kashmir." TRUE Kashmiri is a very flavorful intensely red chili grown in Kashmir. It is a largish chili with medium conical shape and a fruity flavor, and little heat (only about 500-1,000 Schoville Heat Units). Dried it is fairly smooth and very dark in color. Kashmir chilies are not much exported from the region due to scarcity. Since real Kashmir chilies are in very short supply in India, and demand for this type of chili is very high, substitutes are far more common than the real thing. Most chilies used to make "Kashmir" chili powder are a more elongated type, often Byadagi varieties Kaddi or Dabbi, but still very mild. They are not so intensely red, so a little paprika is often added to a dish for color. Indian chefs abroad recommend a mix of mostly paprika with some cayenne for heat, but Kashmiri chili powder (the substitute kind) is easily available from Indian markets here in Los Angeles. For reference: S4 Class: Hatch Green; 2,000 - 5,000 Scoville Heat Units S5 Class: Rocotillo; 2,500 - 5,000 Scoville Heat Units S6 Class: Jalapeno, Serrano, Yellow Wax, Guajillo, Mirasol; 5,000 - 15,000 Scoville Heat Units S7 Class: Chipotle, Hidalgo, Puya, Hot Wax; 15,000 - 30,000 Scoville Heat Units S8 Class: Manzano, Chile De Arbol; 30,000 - 50,000 Scoville Heat Units S9 Class: Cayenne, Tobasco, Santaka, Pequin, Super Chile, Santaka, Aji, Jaloro; 50,000 - 100,000 Scoville Heat Units Ratings go up to S12 for Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia a.k.a. Naga Jolokia) and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion: 855,000 - 2,100,000 Scoville Heat Units. Indian chilies (and Cayenne) only go up to S9, which includes the Dhani, Guntur Red and Mulaku chilies. There are a lot of varieties of Dhani (a.k.a. Bird Chilies, African Devil; C. frutescens or C. annuum), but they are about S8 or S9. The Guntur Red (a non-specific name) is also about S8 or S9. I don't know about the Mulaku. EXACTLY what chilies/ingredients are used in THIS product is STILL not known, so it MAY be the real deal, OR you may be buying Cayenne or Tabasco... who knows??? **Q: Does this mix well with water? How much capsaicin is in it? I'm making a pesticide spray with caffeine and I want an even distribution.** A: Though we have never mixed it with water, I would imagine at the fine mesh that its ground to, it should dissolve well. Its 80,000-100,000 SHU as far as the heat. **Q: My mom got this red curry from an Indian client. Would this be similar? It's a little sweet but super hot if too much is used** A: This is ground and a very little goes a long way. A pinch add a little flavor a spoonful will knock your socks off. It's really good if you like heat. **Q: Has red coloring been used to enhance the color of the powder?** A: No, all natural ingredients. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Craving Authentic Indian Flavors for a Crowd? Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder to the Rescue! *by on Reviewed in the United States June 9, 2024* Do you crave the bold flavors of authentic Indian cuisine, but also love whipping up delicious meals for friends and family? Then you might be in the same boat as me! I'm a huge fan of cooking spicy Indian food at home, and recently I tried the Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder to add some extra kick to my dishes. This versatile spice isn't just for curries! Rani's Extra Hot Chili Powder can elevate the flavor profile of anything from classic meat and vegetarian curries to satays, kebabs, tandoori BBQ chicken, and even salads. Here's what I discovered about this spice and how it can transform your next Indian feast, no matter the dish!Spice Level: Hot, But Not OverpoweringThe "Extra Hot" label might be a bit misleading for seasoned chili heads. This powder has a good kick, but it's not going to blow your taste buds off. If you enjoy a spicy kick without overwhelming heat, then this is a great option. Rani rates it at 60,000-65,000 Scoville Units (SHU) for comparison.Unlocks Authentic Indian Flavors:While the chili powder itself isn't bright red, it adds a wonderful depth of heat to Indian curries and lentil dishes. The key to that vibrant red color often seen in restaurant curries is Kashmiri chili powder, which focuses on color rather than heat. Rani's Extra Hot Chili Powder is perfect for adding that spicy kick without overpowering the other flavors in your dish.My Personal Touch: Adding Heat at the Right TimeHere's how I typically use Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder in my Indian cooking:Start with the Base: I begin by frying whole Garam Masala in hot oil (a blend of peppercorns, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and bay leaves) to release the aromatics.Spice Up the Onions: While the onions are frying, I add a touch of Garam Masala powder to further build the flavor profile.Main Ingredients and Simmering: Then I add the meat, vegetables, and simmer the dish.Heat Control at the End: Finally, near the end of cooking, I slowly add the Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder, a little at a time, to adjust the spice level to my preference. This allows me to control the heat without compromising the other flavors that have developed throughout the cooking process.Fresh Finish: To finish the dish, I garnish with fresh cilantro, green chili (for an extra kick!), and mint leaves.Overall:The generous 16oz container of Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder is a fantastic addition to my spice cabinet. It delivers a nice level of heat without being overpowering, ensuring I have plenty on hand for all my future Indian culinary adventures. While it won't turn your dish bright red like some restaurant curries, it adds a delicious depth of flavor and allows you to control the spice level perfectly. The key to that vibrant red color often seen in restaurant curries is Kashmiri chili powder, which focuses on color rather than heat. If you're looking for a versatile chili powder to add heat to your Indian dishes, this is a great option! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HOT!! But wonderful! *by on Reviewed in the United States September 6, 2025* This chilli powder delivers a powerful kick with a deep, rich flavor that enhances curries, marinades, and other spicy dishes.
