Description
- Origin: Red chilli powder is produced and consumed worldwide, especially in countries with tropical or subtropical climates. It is used in cuisines across Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas.
- Distribution: Red chillies are made from the dried fruits of the Capsicum species, which originated in Central and South America, particularly in present-day Mexico and Peru. Chillies were introduced to India in the 15th–16th century by Portuguese traders, and quickly became a staple in Indian cooking. India not only adopted chillies but also became a global leader in their production, especially of red chilli powder, which is ground from dried red chillies.
