Chilli flakes are made from dried and crushed red chili peppers, typically from the Capsicum annum or Capsicum frutescens species. They add heat and enhance the flavor of dishes, with the spiciness coming from capsaicin. They are used in many cuisines, including Indian, Mexican, and Italian.
Chilli flakes can be sprinkled on dishes like pizzas, pastas, salads, and grilled meats. They can also be stirred into sauces, soups, stews, and marinades. In Indian cuisine, they are used in curries, gravies, snacks, and lentils. Popular Indian varieties include Kashmiri, Byadgi, and Guntur Chili Flakes
