Red Ghee Chilli Seeds

The Red Ghee Chilli (Capsicum annuum) is a mild, flavourful South Indian heirloom variety characterised by its bright red colour, smooth skin, and buttery taste with low to moderate heat. It is a staple of Andhra and Telugu cuisine, commonly used in tempering dals, stir-fries, and traditional pickles. The plant is highly productive and easy to grow. It is known as Mirch (Hindi: मिर्च), Mirapakaya (Telugu: మిరపకాయ), Milagai (Tamil: மிளகாய்), Mulaku (Malayalam: മുളക്), Menasinkaayi (Kannada: ಮೆಣಸಿನಕಾಯಿ), Mirchi (Marathi: मिरची). A kitchen garden favourite across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka, the Red Ghee Chilli is valued as much for its flavour as for its mild heat.
