Notes
This recipe yields approximately ½ cup of spice mix. You can half, double or triple the recipe as per your requirements.
You can use any dry red chili that you have. Kashmiri red chili gives a very nice, bright color to this spice mix, and hence I have used it.
You can replace Kashmiri red chili powder with paprika powder, too.
