What it is

Aachi Masala was founded in 1995 by A.D. Padmasingh Isaac, works out of Chennai and is known for South Indian blends. Its whole spices and blends go to more than 30 countries, chillies like these among them.

Kashmiri chillies are deep red, wrinkled and mild, so they colour a dish rather than heat it. Soaked and ground they give a red gravy; snapped into hot oil they give colour at the tempering. Choosing between chillies? Kashmiri for colour in a gravy, long red chillies for everyday heat, bird's eye when you want it to bite.

Tip: Soak them in warm water for twenty minutes before grinding. Ground dry, they give you flecks rather than colour.

Goes well with: Heera Chilli Whole Long, Aachi Tamarind, Idhayam Gingelly (Sesame) Oil
