Dry mirchi can be ground into powder and used as a component in spice blends or seasonings for protein-rich dishes. These blends can be added to meat, legumes, tofu, or dairy products to enhance flavor without compromising protein content.

Dry mirchi can be added to snack mixes that contain protein-rich ingredients such as nuts, seeds, or legumes. For example, a spicy trail mix could include almonds, peanuts, chickpeas, and dried mirchi for a protein-packed snack option.
