Historia y cultura

Portuguese traders introduced chilies to India in the 16th century. Kashmiri farmers bred varieties suited to the cool valley climate, focusing on pigment and flavor. The resulting chili became integral to Kashmiri wazwan cuisine. Demand spread across India, especially for tandoori dishes needing vibrant color without overpowering spice. Today, both sun-dried pods and commercial powders supply restaurants worldwide.

Botánica y notas de cultivo

Grow Kashmiri chilies in cool, sunny climates if possible. Start seeds indoors 8 weeks before transplanting. Provide well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Plants reach 60 to 80 cm tall. Harvest ripe red pods, then sun-dry until crisp. Grind immediately to preserve color. In humid regions, use dehydrators to prevent mold.
