Is kashmiri chilli powder the same as paprika
Indian chilli powder is not exactly the same thing as cayenne pepper, but you can freely substitute
one for the other — the former you can find at any Indian grocer, it is usually redder in color and
hotter than cayenne powder; the latter you can easily find in any grocery store, even small corner
stores. Paprika is sweet and not hot while chili powder is spicy. Paprika is made from the grinding
of dried sweet red bell peppers. In many European countries the name paprika also refers to bell
peppers themselves. The seasoning is used in many cuisines to add color and flavor to dishes.Mainly
kashmiri chilli is found in the kashmir as it is the only place where special type if chilli is
produced.Chili powder is a generic name for any powdered spice mix composed chiefly of chili peppers,
most commonly either hot red peppers or cayenne peppers.Paprika is made from the skin of a variety of
peppers that vary from mild to medium hot while chilli powder uses the whole pepper including seeds
thats why one is sometimes very hot and the other not.
