Botanical name: Capsicum annuum
Recognised varieties: Dabbi (shorter, plumper pods) and Kaddi (longer, slimmer pods)
WHY BYADAGI CHILLI IS DIFFERENT
- Colour over heat. Naturally low in capsaicin, so it lends a rich red colour without making a dish fiery.
- Distinctive wrinkled skin. The thick, crinkled pods are the variety's signature and hold their colour well when ground.
- A South Indian staple. The backbone of sambar powder, rasam powder, bisi bele bath and countless everyday gravies.
- Naturally sun-dried. Dried the traditional way to protect colour and aroma.
