Red chili powder, also known as lal mirch, is a spicy spice made from grinding dried chilies. It's a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, adding color, flavor, and heat to dishes. Red chili powder can be used in many dishes, including curries, chutneys, gravies, marinades, sauces, pickles, and salads. You can use it sparingly for milder notes, or more generously for spicier dishes
