Information About Bhut Jolokias

Ghost Chilli — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:45:36 +0000

The Bhut Jolokia is a chilli pepper that originally comes from the Assam state of India. It is also found in northeastern India (Nagaland, Manipur), Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka.

In 2006, the Guinness Book of World Records, confirmed it to be the hottest chilli in the world, replacing the Red Savina Habanero.

There has been some heated discussion as to whether it is a Capsicum frutescens or a Capsicum chinense. Recent DNA tests have found that it is an interspecies hybrid, mostly chinense but with some frutescens genes.

The Bhut Jolokia (meaning Ghostly or Poison) has alot of other names – such as:

Ghost Chilli or Ghost Pepper

Naga Jolokia or Naga Morich or Naga Moresh (in Bangladesh) (Naga meaning cobra snake in Sanskrit – which originates from Nagaland and the Naga Community)

Nai Miris(in Sri Lanka)

Bih Jolokia(in the Indian state of Assam)

Oo-Morok (in Manipur) (Oo meaning Tree, Morok meaning Chilli)

Borbih Jolokia

Nagahari

Raja Mirchi (King of Chillies)

Regardless of the name they all refer to the same plant.

Bhut Jolokia Vodka

How to make Bhut Jolokia Vodka

The Recipe

This recipe can be used with any dried chilli – however we like using Bhut Jolokias because of the crazy heat that they bring to spicy cocktails.

Try using this to add a bit of zing to your Bloody Marys!

Ingredients:

1 litre good quality vodka
1 dried Bhut Jolokia Chilli
1 dried Aji Panca Chilli
1 dried Pasilla Negro Chilli

Directions:

1. Always put on gloves before handling Bhut Jolokia chillies.

2. Sort through your Bhut Jolokia chillies for the one with the best looking one that can fit through the mouth of the bottle.

3. Remove the seeds, inner ribs (if you leave the ribs in they’ll float) and stems from the Aji Panca & Pasilla Negro chillies.

4. Chop up the Aji Panca & Pasilla Negro. Leave the Bhut Jolokia chilli whole for both presentation and short term heat control purposes.

5. Add diced chillies and ghost chilli to your vodka. Let it steep for 2 – 3 days.

This will make you 1 litre of spiced vodka.

Warning:

Your Bhut Jolokia Chilli Vodka will get hotter the longer it steeps. The heat was noticeable even after a couple hours. Two weeks later, it had some serious kick (but still tolerable).

To control the heat, taste it every couple days and strain out the chillies once it’s as hot as you like, or regularly consume and replace part of the vodka in the bottle with fresh vodka (it’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it!!).
