NJA Goes to Hot Pepper Market

Masala Mojo · Apr 11, 2010

Friends,

I have reached western India and the temps are in the region of 40 C.
I am getting seeds of two varieties unknown sofar in US and other places.
One is Mehsana Lavingiya a thin small hot pepper variety and Gondaliya another hot pepper variety.

I will post some pictures as soon as I get them.

Sounds very exciting NJA. Looking forward to seeing more of the pics you post and the captions that accompany them.

If only I had found markets like that while I was in Thailand. I never thought to ask around. I will be sure to do so if I ever go there again.
