Byadgi Chilli Powder

Byadgi Chilli Powder is a popular spice derived from Byadgi chillies, a variety of chili peppers cultivated in the Indian state of Karnataka, particularly in the town of Byadgi. These chillies are known for their deep red color, mild to medium heat, and distinct flavor profile.

The powder made from Byadgi chillies is a crucial ingredient in many South Indian dishes, including curries, chutneys, and spice blends like sambar powder and rasam powder. Its unique color and flavor make it sought after in various culinary preparations.

Byadgi chilli powder is often used not only for its heat but also for the rich color it imparts to the dishes. It’s typically a bit milder compared to other Indian chili powders, such as Kashmiri chili powder, but still adds a pleasant warmth and depth of flavor.
