மிளகாய் தூள் (Chilli Powder) is a spice made from dried and ground red chillies, widely used in Indian cuisine. It adds spiciness, vibrant red color, and flavor to curries, gravies, chutneys, and marinades. Rich in capsaicin, it boosts metabolism, aids digestion, and enhances blood circulation. Chilli powder also contains antioxidants, vitamins A, C, and E, which support immunity and skin health. Excess consumption can cause acidity or irritation. For best results, store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture, to maintain its flavor, color, and aroma. Always use a dry spoon to prevent clumping.
