About This Chili
Mathania chili comes from the Jodhpur region of Rajasthan, where it’s grown for its deep red color and balanced heat. Often associated with Rajasthani dishes like laal maas, the long red peppers bring warmth and vibrant color without overwhelming spice. They work just as well fresh in everyday cooking as they do dried and ground for spice blends.
Upright plants stay productive through warm weather, making them a good choice for gardeners who want a traditional Indian chili that handles both fresh use and drying with ease.
Heat Level
Mild to Medium. Typically 10,000–30,000 Scoville Heat Units.
Warm, rounded heat with strong flavor and color rather than sharp intensity.
Why We Grow It
Mathania is valued for its balance — strong color, rounded warmth, and versatility in the kitchen. It grows well in warm California gardens and gives growers a steady supply of chilies suited to both fresh cooking and drying.
