Fresh Bhut Jolokia Ghost Peppers for Authentic Heat

byNortheastoneDelivers around Ejipura & KoramangalaStarts from₹100 per pack / 100g portionView full gallery

I source fresh Bhut Jolokia, also known as ghost peppers, in both green and red varieties. Essential for authentic Northeast chutneys and curries.

A mix of fresh red, orange, and green Bhut Jolokia chilies. The different colours indicate different levels of ripeness and subtle flavour notes, but all are extremely spicy.

This batch contains mostly green and some red ghost peppers. The green ones have a slightly more raw, sharp heat. Handle with care.

About The Heat: Fresh Bhut Jolokia

The green peppers have a sharper, raw heat that works best for fresh chutneys, while the red ones offer a deeper, lingering spice. I keep both in stock, but remember to handle them with gloves when you start prepping. These are potent, and you only need a small amount to change the entire flavour profile of your curry.
