Title: kashmiri mirch
Post by: coffee on June 21, 2012, 11:24 PM

bought a box of kashmiri mirch made by -brand name Catch   and when opened I expected it to be a red colour but was a light brown /yellow ish colour.
I was under the impression that  Kasmiri Mirch should be red-anyone used this?

It should indeed be bright red : that, and its mild flavour, are its two most significant features.  I would recommend taking it back, and asking for MDH  (http://www.theasiancookshop.co.uk/kashmiri-mirch-mdh-kashmiri-red-chilli-powder-blend-1770-p.asp)in its place.
