Most dishes taste bland without chilli powder. It is majorly responsible for adding flavour, spiciness, aroma, and colour to delicacies. It also adds nutritional elements to your food, making it healthy and perfect.
But to achieve this perfection in food, you must know the right quantity of chilli powder to add. If you use more, the food will become extremely spicy and inedible, while if you use less, it will remain tasteless.
