The term "red chili" refers to a type of small, fiery peppers that are commonly used in many cuisines around the world. These peppers are typically bright red or green in color and have a spicy heat when eaten. They can be dried and ground into powder form, making it easy to add a kick to any recipe without having to use fresh chilies all the time. Red chili is also used as a natural food coloring agent, giving dishes a vibrant red hue.
