This chili has a soft heat and a deep, flavorful profile that really brings food to life. Great for layering flavor in stews and sauces without making things too hot.
I dried a whole batch in my dehydrator and made chili flakes—absolutely fantastic. Great aroma, and just the right level of heat for daily cooking. Definitely growing again next season.
I grew these specifically to make my own Kashmiri chili powder, and the results are incredible. The flavor is warm, earthy, and slightly fruity. The color is so vivid!
These did really well in containers on my patio. Bushy plants with loads of peppers, and they ripened to a stunning red. Great for drying, freezing, or fermenting.
I dried and ground mine to use in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, and the color it gives is unbeatable. It adds warmth and flavor without overpowering heat.
