Though we use dry red chilies in the recipe to prepare the seasoning, what really adds spiciness to the dish is the use of red chili powder, which adds color and flavor to this potato stir fry.

As the color and flavor of this dish really comes from the red chili powder, I really do not recommend avoiding the red chili powder in this recipe.

However you can reduce the spiciness by using mild red chili powder instead of using hot chili powders (red chili powder is available as mild, medium, hot and extra hot).

By using mild red chili powder, you can still enjoy the color and flavor of the dish while reducing the spiciness. However, if you love spicy food, you can also go for extra hot red chili powder!
