Red (often dried) chilies are a key ingredient in Bhutanese food. The color not only adds a visual element but also reflects the warmth and intensity of their spiciness, providing a distinct flavor to the dishes. Especially in autumn months, you will see red chilies laid out on rooftops or strung up at the windows to dry in the sun.
