Is Paprika Used in Indian Food?
Not really. Most Indian dishes get their red color from Kashmiri red chili powder, which is more flavorful and spicier than paprika.

Yes, paprika is used, but more for color than flavor. Indian cuisine usually relies on other spices for the heat.
Absolutely! Paprika adds a mild heat and a beautiful red color to dishes like Tandoori Chicken and some curries.
From personal experience, I can say that paprika is not traditionally used, but you might find it in some fusion or modern recipes.
