Whole Naga Chillies

Whole Naga chillies are one of the hottest peppers in the world and must therefore be used with caution! Also known as Naga bhut jolokia or ghost chillies, they add ferocious heat to anything they touch. The chilli rates over one million Scoville units, making it 10 times hotter than a scotch bonnet. The pepper is even used as tear gas in India.

Within the culinary world, the best way to use Naga Jolokia is to add a minute amount to curries, homemade Indian spice blends and fresh tomato salads.
