Watch FSSAI's Video On How To Check Adulteration Of Chilli Powder

A technique to screen for adulteration in red chilli powder was demonstrated in a video by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). It entails dissolving a teaspoon of chilli powder in water and rubbing the residue on the hand to examine it. Grittiness in the residue indicates the presence of brick powder, whereas soapy residue indicates the presence of soapstone, according to the FSSAI.
