This pack features chillies prized for their unique spherical shape and thick skin, which houses a dense cluster of seeds. Unlike long chillies, these round pods offer a distinct, concentrated heat that is pungent yet carries a subtle, fruity undertone, making them a visual and flavourful staple in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"2\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Secret Pinch:\u003c\/b\u003e To release a \"burst\" of flavour without making a dish overly spicy, drop the whole pods directly into hot oil during your tempering (Tadka). If you prefer a more aggressive heat, lightly crush the pods before adding them to the oil; this allows the seeds to infuse the fat with their fiery oils while the thick skin imparts a deep, smoky aroma to the entire base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e These chillies are the essential ingredient for authentic \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"80\"\u003eSambar\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"88\"\u003eRasam\u003c\/b\u003e, and spicy coconut-based chutneys.

Traditionally, they are also used in folk remedies to stimulate digestion and clear the sinuses, valued for their high capsaicin content and warming properties during the cooler months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eStorage \u0026amp; Care:\u003c\/b\u003e To maintain the brilliant red colour and the sharp \"crack\" of the dried skin, store these chillies in a cool, dry place. Once opened, transfer them to an airtight glass jar to prevent them from absorbing kitchen moisture. Keeping them away from direct sunlight will ensure they retain their fiery potency and don't fade into a dull brown over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57570948743516,"sku":null,"price":1.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/2183\/6124\/files\/natco-whole-round-chillies-25g-spices-934.webp?v=1788226680","url":"https:\/\/gopalgrocers.co.uk\/products\/natco-whole-round-chillies-25g","provider":"Gopal Indian Grocers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
