Red Chilli Powder

Sri Lankan red chili powder, locally known as Miris Kudu, is the fiery soul of the island's cuisine. Sourced from premium varieties like MI-2 and MI-Hot grown in the dry zones of Sri Lanka, these chilies are sun-dried to perfection before being ground. Unlike the mild Kashmiri variety, Sri Lankan chili powder is prized for its robust pungency and high capsaicin content, delivering a sharp, lingering heat that is essential for authentic Sri Lankan "Devilled" dishes and fiery red curries. It provides a rich, reddish-brown color and a smoky depth that defines the bold flavor profile of traditional island cooking.
