Naga Bhut Jolokia / Ghost Pepper Superhot Chilli - CHILLIESontheWEB 10g

Being a lover of all things spice i just had to try these......and was not disappointed. My local Indian has always served me a lovely Phall but as of late it just hadn't cut it, so i decided to cook one of my own. I used 6 of these spice grenades in my curry and cant wait to make another one as the taste was phenomenal spicy yet full of flavor. Will definably be purchasing more!!. My curry recipe: 1 1/2 lbs meat (I used turkey thigh...cheap and cheerful) 2 large onion, finely chopped 8 garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 ounce fresh ginger, finely chopped 3 tablespoons ghee or 3 tablespoons oil 14 ounces canned tomatoes 1 tablespoon tomato ketchup 1 tablespoon tomato puree 6 dried Nagas.....5 green finger chillies (halved) Spices: 1 teaspoon cumin, ground 1 teaspoon coriander, ground 3 teaspoons chili powder (dried, ground chiles such as cayenne) 1 teaspoon garam masala Fry the meat in a pan in half the ghee or oil, until sealed (5 to 10 minutes). Set aside. Fry the onion, garlic and ginger until golden in remaining ghee or oil. Mix the spices with a little water to make a paste. Add to the onion mixture and cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato (tinned, ketchup and puree) and chilies. Cook for a further 10 minutes. Combine the meat and all ingredients in a casserole dish and cook in a pre-heated oven at 400 deg F, Gas 6 for 45 to 60 minutes. (Alternatively, add meat back to the pan with the mixture and cook covered on low heat for an hour. At this stage you can also just throw it all into the slow cooker if you prefer.) Making it again this Wednesday :)

i like the actual taste of these more than i do high levels of heat. If added in small amounts they won't overpower a meal but add a nice flavour/heat however if you add a good amount in ratio to what your cooking you will know about it. They heat lasts a while compared to some other strains you will have tried. You can rehydrate them, I've cooked with them both dry and wet in chillis/hot sauces etc and they will last a while in your cuboard First time i used them i wasn't too convinced they were all they were cracked up to be but when i made some hot sauce i learnt i was wrong. I put three in enough hot sauce to fill a small mustard jar and the second it touches my tongue I get a headrush and feel like I'm starting to sweat. Great strain of chillis if you ask me, i will be keeping them in my cupboard from now on out.

My son asked me to buy them for him. Aged 14 I should have known better. He took them to school and his mates had a dare to see who could eat them. A few unpleasant side effects!!! On positive side my son is a "picky" vegetarian and he has taken an interest in cooking spicy and more interesting food for himself. He has made a spicy soup with remainder - Really good. Really hot chilli. Nice trial size portion. Will purchase again.

I love my Scotch Bonnets! I literally eat three a day in my sandwiches (has definitely kept the Doctor away) but recently the usual Supermarkets clearly have changed their suppliers and have been stocking the sweeter, considerably less heat and more ‘Tam o Shanter’ looking bonnets and not my favourite plump, tomato looking style ones (yellow ones are superb!). So I searched the net trying to get fresh Bonnets delivered but soon realised that they are seasonal! I came across these Naga Bhut Jolokia and thought ‘Why not?’. I bought them not realising they were 1m on the SHU (considerably hotter than a Bonnet!), so was nervous at first as I chopped up a third of one (wimp) and sprinkled it on my pizza. The heat was wonderful! Personally, I would compare a third to a whole Bonnet. I’ve since progressed on to half of one, chopped up with a handful of fresh Birds Eyes. I’m not a great fan of the discreet smoky smell but the warmth hits the spot! I have since bought more but would be interested to see if there are ‘Naga Flakes’ available? Saves me the hassle of chopping up what is otherwise a fairly tough skin…. Keep up the great work 'Chillies on the Web'!

They are exactly what you expect. As for my experience, I somehow managed fine for the first hour. Burn in my mouth and such but nothing too out of the ordinary. It was to the point that I thought I had either high tolerance or the wrong pepper was bought. After the hour however, that's when things got bad. I'm stupid enough for trying it in the first place but I don't regret it. I was literally stuck with severe aches in my stomach for a few hours and a friend of mine on a separate day was stuck in the Aldi public toilets for an absolute age! They do indeed pack a punch and are not for the faintest of heart. If you haven't tried these, it's worth a shot but most likely I'd recommend a lower level of hotness via another pepper to get you started off. Either way, this will be tough for anyone to handle. All in all. I'd recommend it.

Not regretting this purchase; for 25g you really get a lot of chilis! I got perhaps 30 in the packet? Anyway if you cut up one small chili in a curry you get the spice and the taste without it being overpowering... but keep some milk nearby. When I cook another curry then I'll try two normal-sized ones for a push, but probably not more than that. I cut up the chili with a knife, rinsed it and then (out of interest) licked the knife. Even the residue there burned and made me run for the milk. Also what I found was that the chili mainly flared up after I'd finished the curry; perhaps I should use more... Anyway, packaging was was fine; they came in a plastic resealable bag, which came in an envelope. if I had to complain it would be that the plastic bag was a little beaten so the smell of the chilis could get out. Not a big deal though. They arrived in early September 2014 and apparently are good until February 2016.

These are silly hot but add a great twist to chilli with not a lot. Transaction was smooth and packed well.

The product arrived on time well packaged. They are hot but a seasoned chilli head will be easily be able to handle these. I have found that cooking with these after you have rehydrated them in boiling water for 20mins doesn't really give the full heat these have to offer. To get the most heat out of them put in hot water for 20mins then just cut up and add to already cooked food. Then they give some heat.
