The Round Jewel of South Indian Cuisine

Known by many names like Gundu, Mundu, or Sambhar Mirch, these small, round, and vibrant red chillies are a staple in South Indian kitchens. Sourced from Tamil Nadu, where the warm climate and traditional drying methods enhance their unique flavor, our Gundu chillies are prized for their balanced heat and rich, smoky undertones.

Premium Gundu chillies are distinguished by their uniform round shape, deep red color, and smooth, glossy skin. Their moderate spiciness adds a delightful kick without overpowering, making them a versatile and essential spice for authentic regional dishes.

  • Moderately spicy, offering a balanced kick to dishes.
  • Smoky and fruity, adding depth to recipes.

  • Use whole in tempering (tadka) to infuse oils with a moderate, pleasant heat.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place in an airtight container to preserve their color and flavor.
Trivia
