Description
Naga is the chilli of chillies, started a chilli revolution – Cheers Pete!
Naga Bhut Jolokia translated into English is Ghost Pepper
Naga has been tested and rated at 1m SHU – see our guide for how hot this is but trust me its hot
Comes with an infamous 10 minute burn which gives this chilli a longer than all chilli I have tried
Strong fruity flavour with over tones of pure heat
Naga powder is very fine, it will create a reaction just breathing in, while we say spices should sing to your senses from the aroma, naga powder will make your senses hate you with a passion - it is that good!
To get the best from chilli heat up and simmer for a few minutes to release the oils that make this a great hot chilli
The only difference between whole and powder is ease of use and texture within your dish, for quick use I use powder, for weekend cooking sessions its whole pods, always ensure to get your chilli powder from reputable sources

Naga Bhut Jolokia Chilli Powder Quick Reference
- What is it? A very fine powder made from Naga Bhut Jolokia, also known as Ghost Pepper.
- Flavour A strong, distinctive fruity chilli flavour followed by extreme, long-lasting heat.
- Heat level Superhot, around 1,000,000 SHU, with an infamous prolonged burn.
- Origin Grown and ground in Nagaland, India.
- Common uses Very hot curries, sauces, marinades, chilli blends and dishes where extreme heat is intentional.
- Pairs well with Tomato, garlic, ginger, citrus, meat, lentils and robust curry spices.
- How to use Use tiny quantities. Add during cooking and simmer for several minutes to release its oils; avoid inhaling airborne powder.
- Compare with Far hotter and longer-lasting than Habanero, with a stronger fruity Naga identity than generic superhot blends.
- Possible substitute Smoked Naga for added smoke, or Habanero only where a major reduction in heat is acceptable.
- Storage Keep sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect colour, aroma and flavour.
Good to know: The Nagas identity is its combination of powerful fruity flavour and a burn that continues building long after tasting.

The Best
The Very BEST by far, Been using chilli's on the web for the last 10 years and have bought just about every kind of chilli powder they produce. The one which has made the biggest difference is the Naga Bhut Jaloka I am a curry chef and make around 24 portions of curry in one session Naga Bhut Jaloka is essential for a good authentic curry of BIR restaurant quality. I can rely on chilli's from this supplier for these reasons 1) no additives, many producers bulk up their chilli powders with other grains, then dye the mix with red food colouring to fool you, resulting in all of your flavours sucked out, but with Chilli's on the web you get 100% chilli powder. 2) you need a responsive supplier who you can depend on, Steve is exceptional after sales is perfection. 3) established business with a massive range, they don't stand still and rest on their laurels. Don't buy your chilli powder from the supermarket, or in big bulk bags from cheap stores, you will be buying unknown fodder to bulk up the bag. I strongly recommend buying from Chilli's on the web
