Round Red Chilli (Longi / Cherry) — Kunri Origin
Round Red Chilli — known locally as Longi or Gol Mirch — is a distinctive spherical chilli variety renowned across South Asia and Middle Eastern cuisine for its sharp aroma and intense heat concentration.
Kunri is the prime growing basin for authentic Longi chillies. The small, button-shaped pods dry evenly in open-air yards, locking in deep ruby color and volatile aromatic spice compounds.
