A Fiery Heirloom from India’s Northeast — Intense Heat, Cayenne Versatility

Indian PC1 is a prized hot chilli variety from the Assam region of northeast India — one of the world’s hottest producing regions for capsicum varieties. Its long, narrow fruits ripen from deep green to vibrant red, delivering intense heat in a shape and size similar to cayenne. Similar in culinary use to cayenne, it can substitute in any dish where you want serious heat and bright pepper flavor. Note: Despite sometimes being called Naga Jolokia locally, PC1 is unrelated to Bhut Jolokia or Naga Morich — it is its own distinct, potent variety.

Highlights

  • Heirloom variety from Assam, northeast India
  • Long, narrow fruits ripen from dark green to red
  • Very hot — cayenne-level heat and flavor profile
  • Substitute in any recipe calling for cayenne or hot Asian chillies
  • Can be harvested green or left to ripen red and dry
  • Excellent for containers and year-round growing in warm climates

In the Kitchen

Use PC1 chillies fresh or dried in curries, chutneys, hot sauces, and any dish where cayenne would shine. Harvest green for a fresh, grassy heat; allow to ripen red and dry on the plant for a smoky, concentrated pepper to crush or powder. To dry: cut branches, remove leaves, and hang until fully dried.

Growing Guide

  • Start indoors: 6 weeks before last frost (or 8 weeks before transplanting); sow ¼" deep
  • Germination: Warm soil essential — use a heat mat or warm surface; germination can take 1 week to 1 month
  • Soil mix: Use organic seed-starting mix — avoid peat pots, plugs, or standard potting soil
  • Harden off carefully before transplanting outdoors
  • Transplant: Late spring/early summer; soil temperature at least 60°F; full sun, warm location
  • Containers: Use 5-gallon pots minimum; excellent for year-round indoor/outdoor growing
  • Fertilize: Avoid excess nitrogen — promotes foliage over fruit; apply compost tea and slow-release fertilizer
  • Harvest: With garden scissors when fully mature to avoid damaging the plant; pick regularly to encourage new buds
