This sizzling hottie from Assam is sure making waves.Bhut Jolokia, also known as Naga Jolokia, is the hottest chilli in the world. Measured at more than one million SHU, it is twice as hot as its nearest competitor, California's Red Savlina. It is called “bhut” because one turns ghostly (bhut ban jaata hai) after eating it.
Americans, always fascinated by anything that is the biggest, largest etc have, not surprisingly, taken fancy to it. Chilli-heads are already growing Jolokia in hot houses. A sauce made with it has been aptly named “Naga-sore-ass” while another one is “Kiss my Bhut”!
It won't be long before the CIA realises that “administering” Bhut Jolokia the wrong way will get even the most hardened prisoners to sing. Move over Sodium Pentathol. The real truth serum is here! Human Rights?!
