Back to my roots (again)

Hello, I have just done a search, Kashmiri and Deggi Mirch? Are these just ordinary chilli powder and extra hot? I only have Sainsburys chilli powder in my cupboard and a very old Schwartz one!

Kashmiri mirch has a distinctive flavour which for me is very much not BIR. Others swear by it though so you probably need to try a standard Rajah type chilli and the kashmiri to see which is more typical of the curries in your locality.

Interesting you say that SS, I find Kashmiri Mirch gives us the smokey flavour we are looking for in BIR style. Maybe it's a short cut, I'm not sure. But it works for me.

Cheers,
Ken
