Frequently Asked Questions

How hot are Birds Eye chillies compared to regular chillies?

Birds Eye chillies range from 50,000 to over 100,000 Scoville units — 10–50 times hotter than regular red chilli powder (typically 2,000–5,000 SHU) and significantly hotter than Kashmiri chilli. Use sparingly unless you love intense heat.

Can I use Birds Eye chilli in Indian cooking?

Absolutely — Birds Eye chillies (called Kanthari in Kerala) are widely used in South Indian cooking, particularly in Kerala fish curries, chutneys, and sambar. They're also the preferred chilli for schezwan and Asian fusion dishes.

How should I handle Birds Eye chillies safely?

Wear gloves when handling and avoid touching your eyes, face, or skin. The capsaicin in Birds Eye chillies can cause intense burning. Wash hands thoroughly with soap after use. The heat is in the seeds and inner membranes.

Can I rehydrate dried Birds Eye chillies?

Yes — soak in warm water for 15–20 minutes until softened, then blend into a paste or use in cooking. Rehydrated chillies have a slightly different flavour profile — more complex and less sharp than dried.
