Dry Red Chilli
Chilies contain health benefiting an alkaloid compound, capsaicin, which gives them strong spicy, pungent character. Early laboratory studies on experimental mammals suggest that capsaicin has anti-bacterial, anti-carcinogenic, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties.
Dry red chili is used as a seasoning all over the world. The best, most perfectly dried red chili can give any food a unique flavor and taste, especially when it's used to “temper.” We can get this type of spice at the market. But the quality isn't always up to what we expect.
It is typically used in South Indian recipes like Coconut Chutney and Sambhar. Dry red chillies are also used to make red chilli flakes that are used as a garnish on pastas and pizzas. For those who like super spicy food, dry red chilli is also used to make chilli paste and chutneys.
