Yellow chilli powder has been obtained from a unique variety of chilli cultivated in the villages in Nainidanda region of Pauri Garhwal district in Corbett landscape and Ramganga river catchment in Uttarakhand. Locally know as Lakhori or Dhara chilli, it is highly pungent and gives a rich flavour. It is a good source of Vitamin C with anti-bacterial, analgesic and anti-diabetic properties. It has been grown under natural conditions by members of our women Self-Help Groups (SHGs). Chillies are plucked manually, sun-dried and pulverized in a hygienic manner.
