[🇧🇩] Bangladeshi Chill Thread

[ghazi]

The Naga Morich is a chili pepper originally grown in Bangladesh. There is no consensus on whether this is synonymous with the Bhut Jolokia, or a different variety.

It is also one of the hottest known chilli peppers and the only naturally occurring chili pepper that measures 1 million SHU on Scoville scale.
Morich is the word for chilli pepper in Bengali..

Plant characteristics

Like many varieties of the Chinense species, the Naga Morich is a small-medium shrub with large leaves, small, five-petaled flowers, and blisteringly hot fruit. It differs to the Bhut Jolokia and Bih Jolokia in that it is slightly smaller with a pimply ribbed texture as opposed to the smoother flesh of the other two varieties.

Morich is the word for chilli pepper in Bengali (মরিচ), with similar words in Assamese: (মৰিচ) (moris), Nepali, Hindi (मिर्च) and the languages of Nagaland and Manipur.

Naga Morich is registered under the Geographical Indications (GI) of Nagaland by Government of India.

Distribution
The Naga is a naturally occurring species in Bangladesh and North East India, more specifically in Nagaland, Manipur and Assam.

They are also grown in the United States, United Kingdom (as subspecies Dorset Naga) and Australia for the production of hot sauces, and in Finland, where it is mainly sold fresh in supermarkets.

Culinary usage
The Naga Morich chili is extremely hot, but has a flavor that is quite unique.[clarification needed] Like the Bhut Jolokia (ghost pepper), it has a sweet and slightly tart flavor, followed by slight undertones of woody, smoky flavors.

The chili is well suited for BBQ and grilling due to its unique flavor profile.

I cannot eat hot curry so don't like chili pepper.

I cannot eat hot curry so don't like chili pepper.

This Naga variety and all other Million plus Scoville-rated Capsaicin bombs (such as the Carolina Reaper varieties, which were derived from Bhoot Jalokia AKA Ghost Peppers and Naga varieties - link below) are not for regular consumption as food, though I guess one can. They are used as ingredients for pepper spray, bear spray and other law enforcement/animal control equipment/ingredients. One light rub on a plate from a Bhoot Jalokia Morich is sufficient to keep whatever you are eating off the plate spicy enough. We are talking serious weapon here....

Some Bengalis in the US West Coast I hear are trying to grow these things but weather is not humid enough, it needs a greenhouse with added humidity.
