Guntur Chilli Powder — Andhra Heat, Milled to Order
Guntur chilli powder, milled to order from whole Sannam-type pods. This is the chilli that gives Andhra and Telangana cooking its character — several times hotter than Kashmiri, with a clean forward heat rather than a lingering burn.
How we make it
Whole pods from the Guntur belt are sorted, de-stemmed and milled at the counter. How hot the powder turns out depends on how much seed and internal placenta goes into the mill, since that is where the capsaicin sits — we mill to a consistent house ratio, and you can ask for it ground with more or less seed.
What goes in, what stays out
One ingredient: Guntur chilli. No dye, no starch or husk bulking, no anti-caking agent, no spent chilli blended back in. Screened for added colour, with reports published.
How to use it
- Andhra and Telangana gravies, where the chilli leads
- Karam podi and gunpowder podis
- Avakaya and other pickles
- Blending with Kashmiri or Byadgi to set heat independently of colour
- Rasam and pepper-chilli preparations
How to store it
Opaque, airtight, cool and dark. Use within three to four months for full aroma. Heat outlasts aroma — an old powder is not milder, it is flatter, which is how people end up over-adding.

FAQs
What is the difference between Kashmiri chilli and Guntur chilli?
Heat and colour, in opposite proportions. Kashmiri sits around 1,000-2,000 Scoville units with very high colour; Guntur runs roughly 25,000-40,000 with moderate colour. Kashmiri is for redness, Guntur is for heat. Most cooks keep both.
How hot is Guntur chilli powder in practice?
Hot enough that a teaspoon is not interchangeable with a teaspoon of Kashmiri. If you are adapting a recipe written for Kashmiri powder, start with a quarter of the quantity and adjust.
Can you mill it with less seed to make it milder?
Yes. Most of the capsaicin is in the seed and the white placenta, so the ratio milled in decides the heat. Ask at the counter and we will grind it lighter or hotter.
Is Guntur chilli the same as Sannam?
Sannam, usually Sannam S4, is the main variety grown in and around Guntur and is what most Guntur chilli powder is made from. The district name and the variety name get used interchangeably in the trade.
Why does freshly milled chilli powder clump?
Because there is no anti-caking agent in it. Chilli contains natural oil and absorbs humidity, so fresh powder packs together. It is a sign of what is absent, not of a fault. Store it dry and break it up with a spoon.
Does Guntur Chilli Powder expire, and how would I know?
It does not become unsafe so much as it goes flat. Rub a pinch between your fingers and smell it: fresh powder releases aroma at once. If you have to work at it, the volatile oils have gone and it is time to replace it, however good the colour still looks.
Should I keep Guntur Chilli Powder in glass or plastic?
Either, as long as it is airtight and opaque. Light does more damage than the container material. A steel dabba or a tinted jar in a cupboard beats a clear glass jar on the shelf above the hob every time.
Can I keep Guntur Chilli Powder in the fridge?
Better not. Taking a cold jar in and out of a warm kitchen condenses moisture inside it, and damp powder cakes and can grow mould. A cool, dark cupboard is the right place.
What makes Guntur Chilli Powder different from a supermarket packet?
Timing, mostly. A packet was ground in a factory months earlier and has been sitting since. Ours is milled to order from whole spice you can look at first, so the aromatic oils are still in the powder, and nothing is added at any point - no colour, no starch, no anti-caking agent.
Is Guntur Chilli Powder freshly ground, or ground in advance and stored?
Milled to order. Whole spice is kept in store and ground when you buy it or when your order is packed. We do not hold ground stock, which is the whole reason the shop has a mill in the customer area.

Hi, just wanted to share my feedback about Miller Stores. So it could help someone like me. The quality of the products is really great. I used the wheat flour and it came out very soft and tasty. It felt fresh and not acidic at all. The chilli powder and cinnamon are also very good – definitely worth trying. The store is maintained very well and everything looks clean and hygienic. Also, the owner has excellent knowledge about the products. Honestly, it’s rare to see this level of knowledge from owners in Hyderabad. They explain things very clearly.
One of the best stores for natural ingredients. The cold-pressed oils are pure and rich in flavor, and the mirchi powder are top-notch. Their masalas are freshly ground and elevate any dish. The staff is polite and always ready to help you choose the right products. Very satisfied with every purchase.
Good quality products are available here. I was especially impressed with the atta and chilli powder—they are fresh, flavorful, and of excellent quality. Overall, a great place to buy quality groceries. Highly recommended!

Visited the store at Kondapur. Mr. Srinath the owner received us and explained in detail about each and every product in display as to how the product is sourced and milled at his location. I have personally used chilli powder, tumeric, pepper, cinnamon, and can say that each and every product has an authentic flavour and aroma. Overall all the products are good and very really liked.
I’ve been looking for a reliable spot in Kondapur for non-adulterated groceries, and Miller Stores definitely delivered. I picked up their honey, tea, and mirchi powder, and the quality is night and day compared to most commercial brands. You can tell there are no artificial colors or additives just by the aroma and taste. What stood out most was the customer service. The staff was very welcoming and didn't just point to a shelf; they actually had great product knowledge and explained how they ensure their items stay pure. It’s rare to find a shop that’s this transparent about what they sell. It’s a great addition to the neighborhood for anyone tired of processed food. Wishing the team continued success—keep up the high standards!
I am currently staying with my family in New Zealand, during my last visit to Kerala I purchased a variety of spices from Miller Store Kazhakkoottam. I am extremely satisfied with both store and their products. The quality is excellent and truly authentic. I especially loved the powders like both Kashmiri chilly , normal chilly, coriander, turmeric and garam masala _ the aroma and freshness are outstanding. I highly recommended for anyone looking for premium quality spices.
Had an awesome experience at recently opened Miller Stores-Kphb. Their concept of purity and transparency to watch live extraction of oils and freshly milled sharbati wheat flour, turmeric and chilli powder ensures us to get adultrated free products.Their cold pressed oils are excellent and resonable considering their purity and freshness.Their wide spread of spices are very aromatic. Perfect store for those who are looking for products for a healthy living. Highly recommended!
