    Pepper Powder is flavorful, hot spice seasoning made by grinding pepper into a powder in a mixer grinder. Pepper Powder is a handy ingredient to enhance the taste of many dishes including curries, rice varieties, eggs, salads and a lot more. Pepper Powder made at home is fresh & flavorful than the store bought ones and lasts for 3 months.

    Pepper powder is quite essential in every household and ours is no exception so I make it and store. I usually make a small batch and store. This lasts me at least for  2-3 months. You can use it for curries,gravies or egg omelette etc.

    About Pepper Powder

    Pepper powder is ground or powdered form of dried or roasted whole peppers, most commonly black pepper. Other varieties of pepper powder include white pepper powder made from whole white pepper corns and red pepper powder from whole red pepper corns. Each type of pepper powder has its own unique flavor, taste and heat level.

    Pepper powder is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a wide variety of dishes, including salad, seasoning, vegetables, sauces, and soups. You can make it slightly coarse or to a fine powder too. We like it slightly coarse but its purely your preference.

    Black pepper is available in various forms, including whole peppercorns and crushed pepper. Whole peppercorns are typically crushed or ground just before use to maintain their freshness and flavor. Ground black pepper, on the other hand, is convenient and widely used in cooking and seasoning.

    • Grind it coarse or fine as per your preference.
    • If you want for omelette and egg make it even more coarse. I made it for adding to curries, gravies etc so made it fine.
    • I use pepper mill for freshly cracking pepper for omelettes and eggs and use this pepper powder for curries etc.
    • Use a dry spoon every time you use it to extend shelf life.

    You can serve it along with eggs, salads or use it for curries, gravies, seasoning meat, seafood etc.
