Do you crave the bold flavors of authentic Indian cuisine, but also love whipping up delicious meals for friends and family? Then you might be in the same boat as me! I'm a huge fan of cooking spicy Indian food at home, and recently I tried the Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder to add some extra kick to my dishes. This versatile spice isn't just for curries! Rani's Extra Hot Chili Powder can elevate the flavor profile of anything from classic meat and vegetarian curries to satays, kebabs, tandoori BBQ chicken, and even salads. Here's what I discovered about this spice and how it can transform your next Indian feast, no matter the dish! Spice Level: Hot, But Not Overpowering The "Extra Hot" label might be a bit misleading for seasoned chili heads. This powder has a good kick, but it's not going to blow your taste buds off. If you enjoy a spicy kick without overwhelming heat, then this is a great option. Rani rates it at 60,000-65,000 Scoville Units (SHU) for comparison. Unlocks Authentic Indian Flavors: While the chili powder itself isn't bright red, it adds a wonderful depth of heat to Indian curries and lentil dishes. The key to that vibrant red color often seen in restaurant curries is Kashmiri chili powder, which focuses on color rather than heat. Rani's Extra Hot Chili Powder is perfect for adding that spicy kick without overpowering the other flavors in your dish. My Personal Touch: Adding Heat at the Right Time Here's how I typically use Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder in my Indian cooking: Start with the Base: I begin by frying whole Garam Masala in hot oil (a blend of peppercorns, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cumin, coriander, and bay leaves) to release the aromatics. Spice Up the Onions: While the onions are frying, I add a touch of Garam Masala powder to further build the flavor profile. Main Ingredients and Simmering: Then I add the meat, vegetables, and simmer the dish. Heat Control at the End: Finally, near the end of cooking, I slowly add the Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder, a little at a time, to adjust the spice level to my preference. This allows me to control the heat without compromising the other flavors that have developed throughout the cooking process. Fresh Finish: To finish the dish, I garnish with fresh cilantro, green chili (for an extra kick!), and mint leaves. Overall: The generous 16oz container of Rani Extra Hot Chili Powder is a fantastic addition to my spice cabinet. It delivers a nice level of heat without being overpowering, ensuring I have plenty on hand for all my future Indian culinary adventures. While it won't turn your dish bright red like some restaurant curries, it adds a delicious depth of flavor and allows you to control the spice level perfectly. The key to that vibrant red color often seen in restaurant curries is Kashmiri chili powder, which focuses on color rather than heat. If you're looking for a versatile chili powder to add heat to your Indian dishes, this is a great option!

The Rani Extra Hot Chilli Powder (28oz / 800g) is hands down one of the best chili powders I’ve used. It delivers rich, authentic Indian heat and flavor without any artificial colors or additives. Perfect for soups, curries, or any dish that needs a fiery kick, it blends seamlessly and is very easy to use. I love that it’s all-natural and gluten-free, giving bold flavor without compromising quality. A must-have for anyone who loves spicy cooking!

Decently hot, and very flavorful. Third product I try from this brand, and as with the others, am very pleased. Will continue buying.

Bought this Rani Extra Hot Chilli Powder mostly as I tend to buy some frozen Indian dinners which always seem to be slightly lacking in flavor. When I go out to eat, even in the better Indian restaurants I always enjoy spicy vs mild. To cut a long story short this Chilli Powder has a GREAT flavor...and it can be very hot/spicy. I have since used this on lots of foods, even soups, and it really makes so many foods taste so much better in my opinion. So far this stuff has been lasting me a VERY long time. I would highly recommend this spice and brand. If you like HOT...maybe not burn your tongue off hot...BUT it has a nice flavor besides being hot, it's not just heat/ it's BETTER!

No es tan eficiente como me habían dicho. Quizás intente usarlo de otra manera. Lo estaba usando para espantar gatos callejeros que me ensuciaba los alrededores de mi casa.

Good flavour. Perfect size

Nice and spice although I accidentally ordered it and is none returnable item

For me and my tastes I find that 'spiciness' comes in either 'numbing' or 'burning'. I find Szechuan peppercorns and real wasabi to be a 'numbing spice' that causes less burning and 'heat' while making the mouth feel 'tingling'. I find that habanero and a lot of hot suaces with capsaicin to be plain burning 'heat' flavour. I need some spiciness to blend exotic flavours, or such spices as cloves and star anise just over power when they should not. This product is the 'numbing tingling' spiciness over 'capsaicin hot' spiciness, which is great for what I wanted it for: adding more spiciness to existing milder pre-made foods. I often buy pre-made sauces and dishes that don't have enough spice to blend the flavours well or are just so burning hot I can't taste the food properly. The only note I make is this spice is not overly dry and will stick in the shaker portion of the cap: be careful you don't bump the container when tipping it and get an excessive amount.

This product has an okay flavor and the heat is good. To make a large chilli, basically an entire pot I put 3 spoonfuls of this stuff in and it is very hot. I recommend this. Hopefully it truly is organic.

I bought this because the tastes in my local supermarket do not to extend to ‘hot or spicy things That actually have flavour.’ So while not cheap, it is cheaper than making a trip half way across town just to get a small pot of chilli powder. Yes, I could probably get it (or similar ) for half the price, if I drove 20 minutes, parked up, spend 20 minutes in the supermarket finding the equivalent, and drove home, another 20 minutes, . . .Saving £3 is not worthy of an hour doing it. I have better things to do, and this pot will lasts months. Plus petrol is not cheap, so the £3 saving is not £3. I long ago leaned that spending £3 to save £2 is not actually a saving. I like it, and the price is a very acceptable as will probably last me a year.
