I think I first heard it from a well-known chef in Bangalore - he said that sichuan peppers are the same as tirphal. I knew as soon as I saw them that they were not the same. Related, sure. But not the same!</i>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-67878281444959256382012-06-06T04:38:31.061-06:002012-06-06T04:38:31.061-06:00thank you for the shot comparing sichuan pepper an...thank you for the shot comparing sichuan pepper and tirphal.

Tirphal is Zanthoxylum rhetsa and there are several different Chinese species. I don't know which one I have but I think it is called chuan jiao.</i><br /><br /><b>Shankari</b><i>, when I used regular dried red chillies, the color was a dark red. Not as vibrant!</i><br /><br /><b>Jaya</b><i>, we haven't done the Silverton small gauge train ride as yet either. It's supposed to be gorgeous!</i><br /><br /><b>Soma</b><i>, the snow is not a big deal as it's gone in a day, at the most two. We'll take precip in any form! This fish curry is very easy and rides on the complex flavors that tirphal adds to the mix. Try it!</i><br /><br /><b>ISG</b><i>, to make it really spicy, yes. This one was toned down a tad by the fat red chillies that Anita sent me. She says they are Kashmiri chillies. But it really should be 20-25 byadgi chillies.</i><br /><br /><b>Jen</b><i>, me too! I didn't want to move away from all of you!</i><br /><br /><b>Anita</b><i>, *if* they are Kashmiri mirch. I can't seem to find byadgi chillies here anymore. I hope you are making notes!

There are lots of other dishes that can be made with tirphal and red chillies but none as colorful as this!</i><br /><br /><b>Sumi</b><i>, no arguments there!

Kashmiri mirch must have made this dish less fiery I am sure - they are just so mild but what a brilliant colour.<br />Byadgi I fell in love with when I saw the fiery colour they impart with not as much heat as I was expecting. Should have asked sonny boy to pick some up for me! But I did pick some longish redder looking chillies from the market in Munnar...How I wish we would know all our chillies by name.<br />Glad you are still in CO, would love to visit you there one day!Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-45783512695699659142010-06-03T18:54:14.231-06:002010-06-03T18:54:14.231-06:00That is beautiful!
