Vibrant Chili Threads for Color and Mild Heat

• Silk-thin dried red chili threads with a mild, smoky, slightly sweet heat
• Adds dramatic visual appeal as a garnish on biryanis and kebabs
• 7 oz jar — generous supply for frequent use

How to Use

Sprinkle over finished biryani or pilaf as a garnish for a vibrant red color effect. Use as a topping on seekh kebabs, shami kebabs, or grilled meats before serving. Add to Indo-Chinese dishes for a mild, smoky chili note. Incorporate into egg dishes, noodles, or soups as a fiery-looking but mild garnish.
