What is Chilli Powder?
We make Chilli Powder by selecting first-grade Guntur & Byadgi dry red chillies, destemming, machine cleaning to remove dust and stones, and stone-grinding them at low speed. We call it Milagai Thool in Tamil.
Unlike market powder with 30% salt, maida, and synthetic color, our powder offers 100% chilli-only grinding. Furthermore, it gives deep red color naturally without adding color. As a result, 1 spoon equals 10g whole dry chillies.
In addition, chilli powder works as the base for all Tamil spicy gravies. Therefore, many Tamilnadu households keep it as a must-have ingredient.
