Chilli Powder

Ceylon chili powder is a staple spice in Sri Lankan cuisine, known for its vibrant color and rich, fiery flavor. Made from sun-dried red chilies that are finely ground, Ceylon chili powder varies in heat levels depending on the type of chili used but is generally hot and pungent. It is commonly used in curries, sambols, and marinades, imparting both heat and a deep red color to dishes. Sri Lankan chili powder is distinct due to its freshness and the specific varieties of local chilies used, contributing to the unique flavor profiles of Sri Lankan cooking.
