The Yercaud Bajji Chilli is a traditional variety that originates from the hill town of Yercaud in Tamil Nadu, where it has been grown and enjoyed for generations. Famous across South India for its role in the classic mirchi bajji, this chilli is loved for its long, tender pods and mild pungency.

Unlike most hot chillies, Yercaud Bajji offers a subtle heat with a hint of sweetness, making it perfect for deep-fried bajjis, stuffed preparations, curries, and pickles. Its unique balance of flavor and aroma allows it to enhance dishes without overpowering them.

This heirloom variety is also valued for its adaptability to Indian plains and hills, and generous yields, making it a favorite among both home gardeners and culinary enthusiasts. A true regional treasure, it brings the taste of Yercaud’s food heritage straight to your kitchen.
