Red chilli powder can set the taste buds on fire, and sometimes the tummy too! It is basically a spice blend consisting of one or two types of dried red chillies that are ground and pulverized into a fine powder. It is generally used to add spice to otherwise bland foods.

Red chilli powder has significant amounts of vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system and helps your body fight infections and diseases. It also helps reduce free radicals in the body and is also known to reduce the chances of cancer.
