First measure and take long red chilli variety. We are going to use both red chillies : the regular long red chillies for spice and kashmiri red chillies for color.
Pluck the stem from the red chillies.
You can even keep 3-4 at a time and cut using a kitchen scissor. All ready, set aside.
Now take kashmiri chilli and remove the stem part if any.
Now kashmiri red chillies is also ready.
To a kadai add kashmiri red chilli first and dry roast until crisp, remove and set aside. To check break a red chilli it should easily break and not bend then its perfect else roast for few more mins.
Alternatively you can sundry the chillies and grind too but sun should be very hot.
Now add long red chilli variety and dry roast until crisp.
Cool down completely then add to mixer jar.
Grind it as fine as possible. Alternatively you can give to mill and grind it too.
Spread it on a tray and cool down then store in a clean dry airtight container. If you feel its very coarse then sieve it once and store.
Fresh aromatic homemade red chilli powder ready.

Always use a combination of red chillies for getting perfect hotness, flavor and color.

Alternatively to skip dry roasting you can sundry the red chillies until crisp.This may take 2-3 days if there is hot sun in your home.Spread a netted cloth to protect it from insects and flies.

If its summer season you can try sun drying else can use the dry roasting method, but roast it in low flame without burning.

Keeps well in room temperature itself but in case if you want to store for more than 6 months then take half of it and store in fridge.Keep the rest in your kitchen pantry itself and use it.

The measurement is purely our preference. You can add 1/2 and 1/2 of chili varieties if you prefer medium spicy like I've have done. If you want more spice level then increase long chili variety like 3/4 kg red chilies and 1/4 kg kashmiri red chilies.
