Details

The Naga Morich is also known as the serpent chili and the Dorset Naga. It comes from the country of Bangladesh south of Northeast India. It is also known as the sister chili of the Bhut Jolokia or Ghost chili. Pods have a pimply texture like a Bhut Jolokia but the Naga Morich is smaller with small ribbing in the skin. Pods are generally wedge shaped and average about 2 inches long by 1 inch wide. They ripen from a rich green through to yellow/orange and finally to a rich red. Flavor is less earthy than a Bhut Jolokia, slightly fruity, and the heat is the same if not hotter. It makes one mean hot sauce or barbecue marinade, tastily fruity to start and wickedly demonic for minutes after. A small slice of this chili can be enough to breathe fire into a typical soup or stew. Like the ghost pepper, the Naga Morich plays very well in marinades and hot sauces, where the slow heat allows for the unique fruity and earthy flavor of the chili to come to life prior to the intensity. You can also grind dried Naga Morich into an extreme chili powder. Just use a pinch for a pot. It’s enough. EXTREMELY hot! Non-Isolated.
