I have seeds available for the following two Indian varieties that I grew this year:
Reshampati: an Indian gentleman sent me seeds. He said Reshampati is used in India to make a superior chili powder. It has a Cayenne shape, about 4 inches long, and ripens to red.
Unknown Indian: I got my seeds from a farmer who runs a produce stand. The farmer said an Indian lady gave him the seeds and asked him to grow them for her. So, I'm assuming it's a variety she wanted to use for Indian cooking. It's a skinny cayenne shape, about 1 inch long, and ripens to red. I tried it when I made Kung Pao Chicken and found I could substitute it one-for-one for the Kung Pao chiles I normally use.
If you're interested in growing these for your Indian cooking, PM me for my address for the SASBE.
