In order to avoid such low-quality red chilli powder varieties add a teaspoon of to a glass of plain water and if the water changes the colour you will be sure it had artificial colour. Pure red chilli powder does not dissolve in water. In order to check if soapstone is added to the red chilli powder the water will have a residue at the bottom.
