Round Chilli (Unda Mulaku)

Round Chilli, also known as Unda Mulaku, is a variety of chili pepper characterized by its round shape and spicy flavor. It belongs to the Capsicum annuum species, which includes various types of chili peppers.

To grow Round Chilli from seeds, start by sowing the seeds indoors in early spring, about 8-10 weeks before the last frost date, or directly sow them in the garden once all chances of frost have passed. Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter.

Provide the plants with a warm and sunny location in your garden or a well-lit area if growing them indoors. Water them regularly, keeping the soil moist but not waterlogged. Protect the plants from extreme temperatures and provide support, such as stakes or cages, if needed, to keep the plants upright as they grow.

Round Chilli peppers typically start off green and mature to their final color, which can range from red to orange or yellow, depending on the variety. Harvest the peppers when they have reached the desired color and size. Use scissors or pruning shears to cut the peppers from the plants.

Round Chilli peppers are known for their spicy heat, so use them in moderation according to your taste preferences. They can be used fresh in various culinary dishes, including curries, salsas, sauces, and marinades. You can also dry the peppers and grind them into chili powder or use them to add a spicy kick to pickles and other preserved foods.

Besides their fiery flavor, Round Chilli peppers are a good source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. They can add a bold and spicy element to your cooking, enhancing the taste and aroma of your favorite dishes.

By growing Round Chilli from seeds, you can enjoy the satisfaction of cultivating your own spicy peppers and incorporating them into your culinary creations. Experiment with different recipes and spice up your meals with the distinctive flavor and heat of Round Chilli peppers.
