whaT does deggi mirch spice blend taste like?
The heat of Kashmiri chillies is tempered by the red bell peppers that are also used in the blend. The result is a rich, rounded spice that is prized more for its intense red colour than its heat.
tips, tricks & hacks
- Add a generous sprinkle to vegetable curries.
- Thinking of using red food colouring in your chicken tikka masala? Think again!
- Scatter over potatoes or a traybake of vegetables before roasting.
- Dust cubes of paneer with Deggi Mirch before frying.
- Finish a makhani dal with a drizzle of deggi mirch fried in oil.
- Rub over chicken before grilling.
- Add to a mix of potato, fried onion, coriander leaf and lemon juice as a filling for samosas.
easy meal idea
Chicken tikka
Add these gnarly spiced nuggets into a red curry sauce for chicken tikka masala, fold them into Greek yogurt for a deli-style bap filling, or serve as part of an Indian spread with breads, dips and samosas.
- Mix 4 tbsp Greek yogurt, the juice of 1 lemon juice, 1 tsp grated ginger, 1 tsp crushed garlic, ½ tbsp garam masala and 1 tbsp Deggi Mirch. Season, add chunks from 3 or 4 chicken breasts (or equivalent in thigh fillets) and marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Set your oven’s grill to high. Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers, place on a baking tray and grill, turning regularly, until cooked within (with no pink meat) and charred without – about 12 minutes.
