Akha Marcha (Red Chillies) – Aadey Foods

Our Akha Marcha (whole red chillies) are carefully selected from the hottest varieties, then sun-dried to perfection to lock in their natural oils and vibrant color. Unlike pre-ground chilli powder, these whole chillies offer layered heat—first a fruity sweetness, then a slow, smoldering burn. When fried briefly in oil, they release a rich, smoky aroma (known as tadka) that forms the base of countless curries, pickles, and chutneys. A staple in Goan, Andhra, and Rajasthani cuisines, they’re the secret behind those “just right” spicy dishes.
