Ingredients
- 1/2 pound red chili use the variety of chili you prefer (Kashmiri, Byadki, etc)
Instructions
- Pluck the stem from the dried red chilies.
- To a pan or kadai, add the red chili and dry roast until crisp. Remove in a large plate and set aside. To check if roasted, break a red chili. It should easily break and not bend. If it bends, roast for a few more minutes.
- Let them cool down completely. Then transfer to a spice grinder and grind in small batches. Grind it as fine as possible.
- Spread it on a tray, cool it down, and store it in a clean, dry, airtight container. If you feel it's very coarse, sieve it and store it.

Notes
- Remove seeds for mildness: If you want the powder to be less spicy, remove the seeds and inner parts of the chilies.
- Roast carefully: Cook the chilies in a pan until they're crisp and smell good, but don't burn them.
- Let them cool: Make sure the roasted chilies are completely cool before grinding them.
- Use a Clean Container: Put the red chili powder in a clean, dry container with a tight lid. Make sure the container is completely dry before adding the powder.
- Keep it Dry: Store the container in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard. Avoid storing it near the stove or any other heat source.
- Use a Dry Spoon: When removing chili powder from the container, always use a clean, dry spoon. This helps prevent moisture from getting into the powder.
