Hathi masala chilli Flakes are made from good-quality dried red chillies. These are carefully cleaned and crushed to deliver a uniform spice and a rich red colour with every use. Unlike chilli powder, our flakes contain the chilli's natural seeds and skin, which adds a stronger flavour. No extra heat is used during processing, so the natural oils and compounds stay locked in. It’s good for pizza, pasta, garlic bread, curries, sabzis, and any dish that needs a bold finishing kick. Available in a 90g jar, ₹10 pouches (12g each), and a 500g pack.

Sourcing and Origin

Hathi Masala sources the high-quality red chillies from its best-growing regions across India. They follow the same sourcing standards as for all hathi spice products. Hathi masala selects chillies that are perfectly dried, have a strong fragrance, and exhibit a rich, natural colour. Weak or faint chillies, which usually contain low capsaicin and poor colour, are rejected before processing.

Key Ingredients: Crushed red chilli.

How Hathi Masala Process Chilli Flakes

Its manufacturing process is different from that of powdered chilli powder. chilli flakes are roughly crushed, not ground into fine powder. Proper drying and a process that avoids adding extra heat during crushing help protect the chilli's natural oils and colour. Hathi Masala mainly focuses on sourcing perfectly dried red chillies and crushing them roughly and cleanly, without any extra heat. This is why hathi masala flakes have a deep red colour and a strong, pungent taste. The seeds and skins of dried red chillies add extra texture and flavour to each pinch.

Where to Use Chilli Flakes

  1. Over Pizza and Pasta: Sprinkle 0.5-1 tsp over pizza or pasta right before serving. This is the most common use worldwide, and the flakes add both spice and a nice pop of red.
  2. Garlic Bread: Mix a pinch of these flakes into butter along with garlic, then spread on bread. It gives a spicy kick and interesting twist to a simple garlic bread.
  3. Tadka and Curries: Add a pinch of these flakes to hot oil instead of dry chilli along with your usual tadka spices and other ingredients, at the beginning of cooking. This suits well with your daily dishes when you want extra heat.
  4. Noodles and Stir-Fry: Sprinkle some flakes over noodles or fried rice during cooking, or as a finishing touch. The flakes release their texture well, even in stir-fried dishes.
  5. Marinades: Mix it with marinades to coat chicken, fish, or vegetables. These flakes give heat without needing to grind fresh or whole dried chilli every time.
  6. Avocado & Eggs Toast: Add a few flakes over fried eggs, omelets, or avocado toast for a simple, spicy breakfast.

Crushed Red Chilli

What are chilli flakes used for? 

It is mainly used as a sprinkling or finishing spice on pizza, pasta, and garlic bread. It also pairs well with Indian curries, sabzis, noodles, salads, and soups. It can also be mixed into marinades for paneer, chicken, fish, and vegetables.

How much dry red chilli should I use per dish? 

Sprinkle about 0.5-1 teaspoon over pizza or pasta. If you’re using it in Indian dishes like dal or sabji, a small pinch is enough. Added it during the tadka stage because the flakes have sharp heat.

How can I check if my dry red chilli are good? 

You can check this from its colour. Good chilli flakes have a deep, rich red colour. If it has faded to a dull brown, the chilli might have lost its sharpness due to excessive heat or improper storage.

What are the differences between chilli flakes and red chilli powder? 

Chilli flakes are roughly crushed dried chilli with the visible seeds and skin, giving a sharp burst of spice. Red chilli powder is ground to a fine powder and adds smooth, uniform spice to the entire dish. Dry red chilli are used as a finishing touch. However, chilli powder is best for cooking into a dish from the beginning.

Are Hathi chilli flakes processed using cryogenic grinding? 

No. They are crushed, not ground into a fine powder. That’s why cryogenic grinding isn’t needed for this product. Hathi masala instead sourced well-dried, good-quality chillies and crushed them carefully without using any heat. This procedure preserves the natural oils, colour, and capsaicin content.

How should I store dry red chilli at home? 

Transfer the dry red chilli to an airtight glass or steel container after opening. Keep the container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Always use a dry spoon. Best used within 12-18 months of opening.

Do hathi masala chilli flakes contain artificial colour or preservatives?

No. This crushed chilli contains only carefully crushed red chilli. It doesn’t contain any artificial colours, dyes, or preservatives. The taste and fragrance come entirely from the natural compounds. Each batch is lab-tested for purity and safety, and Hathi Masala is certified to FSSAI and ISO 22000 standards.

How long do dry red chilli stay fresh after opening? 

Yes. It suits perfectly with traditional Indian grilled dishes, tandoori marinades, wraps, sandwiches, and a few flavoured breads. Add a pinch of this over grilled paneer or vegetables. It gives you a nice spicy body that suits well with Indian masalas, too.

Can I use this crushed red chilli in Indian cooking, not just pizza and pasta? 

Yes. It’s more popular on pizza and pasta, but it works equally well in Indian dals, sabjis, curries, and tadka too. Adding a pinch of these flakes to hot oil at the start of cooking adds an extra layer of spice that regular chilli powder can’t.
