Indian dishes are known for their spiciness and flavor, which is why chilies are indispensable for Indian cuisine. Crushed chilli consists of dried, red chillies that are ground together with the seeds. This guarantees the particular spiciness and full aroma of the chillies. Add the chilli flakes to your masalas or curries together with other spices or use them to make your own sauces, soups and stews.
