I live in South Texas. We have several chili pequin plants on our property here in San Benito, Texas. I am curious as to why the green pepper shown was described as “mature”. The chili pequin plants here are bright red when they reach full maturity.
This is a very interesting recipe and I am anxious to try this method of preserving the pequins. Thank you very much.

Love it! Will try to get this pepper. Else planning to try this with regular chillies. The description and pics brought back the taste of Mor Molaga:)

Thanks, Deepa. Regular chillies are perfect for mor molaga.:)

Thanks all for your comments.
This is my second year with pequin peppers. They are still new and I wanted to show how itty-bitty these cuties are. They are very hot mirchi. Just one is enough to turn the cheeks red.

Hi Shoba: Thanks. You could say it is a heritage vessel, because it’s been with me for almost ten years. Purchased it here in one of those local camping stores.

Very cute peppers. They look like peanuts after drying. Interesting to know so many varieties of vegetables around the world. Thanks to Internet and enthusiastic people like you.

Hi Indira,
It is really smart of you to place the pepper on a 5 rupee coin. Its a really tiny pepper. I absolutely love dahi mirchi! Looks delicious!
