Meet India's Chillies 🌶️
India is home to some of the world's most extraordinary chillies. Each one has its own personality, flavour and purpose — yet most people only ever meet them as an anonymous line on an ingredients label.
At Hotchaa, we think that deserves to change. That's why every bottle we create starts with a remarkable Indian chilli, sourced, understood and celebrated for exactly what makes it unique.
Because to us, a chilli isn't just an ingredient. It's the hero of the story.
Eight Chillies, Eight Characters
Byadgi
Gentle heat with a fruity depth and a rich crimson colour that defines everything it touches.
Lavangi
Clean, lively heat with real depth — the backbone of some of our boldest ferments.
Bhut Jolokia
Intense heat that arrives unexpectedly fruity and complex, rounded out with smoky notes.
Green Lavangi
Fresh, crisp and peppery — the bite that wakes a mustard right up.
Kashmiri
A stunning red colour with a gentle, easy warmth — more artist than firestarter.
Teja
Bold, lingering heat that anchors every blend it joins without ever overpowering it.
Sankeshwari
Deep red and moderately hot, this Karnataka native brings intensity and depth to bold Maharashtrian blends.
Dalle Khursani
Round, fiery and intensely aromatic — this Sikkim native brings sharp Himalayan heat with a fruity punch.
We're not just making hot sauces. We're introducing the world to the remarkable chillies that have been growing here for generations.
Making Indian chillies famous. One bottle at a time. 🌶️
