Description
The Byadgi is a prized Indian chili from Karnataka's Haveri and Dharwad districts, renowned for its deep red color and exceptional coloring power. Its long, curved, thin-skinned pods are deeply wrinkled with mild to moderate heat and an earthy, lightly smoky flavor. Widely used in South Indian cuisine for its vibrant color in curries, chutneys, and Karnataka's iconic chili powder blends.
