Description
Extra Hot Whole Chilies, known as শুকনো লঙ্কা or শুকনো মরিচ in Bangladesh, are the dried, mature fruits of chili pepper varieties specifically chosen for their scorching heat. Originating from the Americas, these chilies have become a foundational element in many global cuisines, especially in South Asia. These whole dried chilies are primarily used to impart significant heat and a smoky depth to curries, stews, pickles, and tempering (tadka) for various dishes. They can be rehydrated, ground, or used whole to infuse oils, providing a powerful and authentic kick for those who enjoy intensely spicy food.
