Sirārakhong Hāthei Chilli

Use our Sirarakhong Hathei smoked chilli powder in curries, lentils, marinades, stir-fries, or roasted vegetables. It also works well as a finishing spice to add gentle heat and smoky depth to soups, eggs, and grilled meats.

Indian chilli powder varies by region and chilli variety, offering different levels of heat, sweetness, smokiness, and colour. Many heirloom varieties are valued for their complex flavour rather than just their spiciness.

Heirloom chillies are traditional varieties that have been preserved and grown over generations rather than bred for mass production. They often have more distinctive flavour, aroma, and character than conventional commercial chillies.

Chilli powder is commonly used in curries, stews, soups, spice rubs, roasted vegetables, and marinades. It can also add depth to dips, sauces, and homemade seasoning blends.

Store them in an airtight container in a dark, dry place. Do not store spices in direct sunlight, as this will shorten their shelf life.

Most of the spices are good 2 years from the mill date, which is listed on the harvest label sticker on the jar or bag. That being said, our spices are extremely potent and fresh as we take incredible care to source yearly and aim for quality, so 2 years is our most conservative guideline, compared to most spices in the grocery store which are often 5-10 years old upon purchase.

Our farm partners have been cultivating spices using practices that go "beyond organic" for well over five years. Although they haven't obtained USDA certification yet, this is primarily because the initial certification can be costly and may lead to cycles of debt. To meet USDA standards, four years of inspections and certificates are required after the first certification. However, we consider this process redundant and unnecessary since we conduct thorough testing on every batch we procure. It's a prerequisite for Diaspora Co. to select farm partners whose soil health and agricultural practices align with our internal standards of growing food regeneratively.
