Frequently Asked Questions

How much heat does Kashmiri Mirch have? Kashmiri Mirch is rated approximately 1,000-2,000 Scoville units — very mild compared to regular red chili powder (15,000-30,000 SHU) or cayenne (30,000-50,000 SHU). Its value is primarily its stunning color.

Can I replace Kashmiri Mirch with paprika? Spanish smoked paprika or Hungarian sweet paprika is the closest widely available substitute, but Kashmiri Mirch has a distinctive Indian chili character and slightly more heat than most mild paprika varieties.

Is Kashmiri Mirch the same as the actual Kashmiri red chili grown in Kashmir? High-quality Kashmiri Mirch uses chilies from the Kashmir valley (Lal Mirch), though commercial versions may blend similar varieties — the defining characteristic is the color and mild heat, not a strict geographic origin.
