There are several types of dried chili peppers available in Thailand. The size indicates the intensity of the heat; the smaller the hotter. The chilies are sun-dried.

In Thai cooking, the larger dried whole chilis are a key ingredient in curry pastes. The whole chilis are soaked and the seeds are removed to avoid excessive the heat. Without the seeds, the chilis are pounded along with other spices to give a wonderful flavor and color.

Crushed dried red chili peppers are the same as flakes, and used where you want to spice up a dish without turning it completely red. Ground dried chili is a powder that comes in fine, medium, and coarse grinds, and is used in dishes you want red with heat. In general, the powders will provide more chili flavor and more heat than the flakes, as the powder will spread through your dish more than the flakes will.
