HIMALAYAN YELLOW CHILLI (LAKHORI) POWDER 100gms

Sourced directly from the Certified Organic Farmers of Uttarakhand.

The etymology of the word ‘Lakhori’ reveals that the variety of chili was first grown in a village called Lakhora situated on the Garhwal and Kumaon border of Uttarakhand thus giving it its name. Besides the yellow color, what distinguishes the Lakhori mirch from the other varieties is that it gets a specific type of wrinkle on drying. The Lakhori mirch can be categorized into two types based on their size. The smallest ones, known as Lakori Jamri, have the most number of seeds and are alleged to be used to make chilli flakes. On the other hand, the big ones are used as whole spices or grinded into powder.
