Red Chilli - Regularलाल मिर्च (साधारण)
Properties
Regular Red Chilli (Capsicum annuum) represents the standard, everyday dried red chillies found in most Indian households and commercial kitchens. These are often unbranded varieties or mixed commercial grades heavily dominated by generic Guntur types.
They offer a sharp, immediate pungency and a standard red hue. They are the versatile workhorse of Indian cooking, used for tempering (tadka) in hot oil, grinding into daily chili powder, and building the foundational heat in everything from simple dals to complex meat curries.
