Re: question about mirch

Deggi mirch is an important Indian spice made from a unique blend of special varieties of colourful red capsicums and Kashmiri red chillies. It has a mild heat and a deep red-orange colour. It can be found in Indian grocery stores and may be sold as deggi mirch, degi mirch, deghi mirch, Kashmiri mirch or Kashmiri chilli powder. Many traditional Indian dishes use deggi mirch to impart a red colour, including tandoori chicken and Rogan Josh.

Hotness
Deggi mirch is full-flavoured but relatively mild in heat. It is slightly hotter than paprika but is used more to add colour than heat to dishes.
