Heera Whole Long Red Chillies – Dried Chillies for Indian Cooking

Bring bold chilli heat and a rich, aromatic flavour to your cooking with Heera Whole Long Red Chillies. These dried whole chillies are a versatile cupboard staple for curries, dal tadka, chutneys and homemade spice blends. Use them whole for tempering, crush into flakes or grind when your recipe calls for chilli powder.

A simple bowl of lentils becomes something special with a fragrant finishing tadka. Gently heat a little oil or ghee, briefly add whole red chillies with your favourite tempering spices, then spoon over the cooked dal for a warming burst of flavour.

Ways to Use Whole Dried Red Chillies

• Dal and curry tempering: briefly cook whole chillies in oil or ghee to release their aroma before adding to your dish.
• Chutneys and sauces: prepare according to your recipe and blend with other ingredients for a chilli kick.
• Homemade spice blends: grind with complementary spices for freshly prepared masalas.
• Crushed chilli flakes: crush and sprinkle sparingly into stir-fries, sauces and marinades.
• Rice and vegetable dishes: add whole chillies to your spice base for extra warmth and flavour.

Cooking Tips

Start with a small amount and adjust to taste, as chilli heat can vary. When tempering, use a controlled heat and avoid burning the chillies, which can make them bitter. Ventilate your kitchen when frying or grinding chillies, wash your hands after handling and avoid touching your eyes.

Storage and Product Information

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep tightly sealed after opening to help preserve their aroma. Check the packaging for ingredients, allergens and dietary information.
