Green Chilli Kanthari

Don't let the size fool you. The kanthari mulaku — Kerala's bird's-eye chilli — is small, bright, and blazing with a citrusy heat that's bold yet aromatic, fierce yet fragrant. We source ours fresh from coastal backyards and small farms across Kerala, where it grows the way it has for centuries: under coconut trees, beside kitchen wells, and at the edge of pepper vines. It's the secret behind grandma's coconut chammanthi, the soul of every proper Malabar meen curry, the lift in a humble plate of kanji, and the spark that turns simple kappa biryani into something unforgettable. Frozen fresh to preserve every bit of that wild, untamed heat, our kanthari brings the unmistakable flavour of Kerala straight to your kitchen. A single chilli is enough to transform a dish — handle it with respect, and it will reward you handsomely.
