Short answer: Yes — Kolhapuri heat is present. It's bold, layered & warming.

Details: Our chutney uses Kolhapuri Lavangi chilli (natural red chillies) which deliver bright colour and multi-layered heat — brisk initial heat, followed by a warm, lingering spice. For new users, start with ½–1 tsp per serving and adjust. To reduce heat in gravies, combine with yoghurt, coconut milk, or cream.

No preservatives: We do not add synthetic preservatives or artificial colours to our chutney. It is made from sun-dried onion, garlic, whole spices and natural chillies.

Storage advice: Use a clean, dry spoon and store the jar in a cool, dry place. Refrigeration after opening helps extend shelf-life. Consume within the recommended period printed on the jar.
