It depends on where you grow it. If it is in Guwahati, it is Bhot Jalakia. In Jorhat it would be Bhut Jalakia. The end result is the same, you burn at both ends. :-) Dilip

As far as I know it is the "bhot" people who used to bring it to the brahmaputra valley to sell in the market etc and that is why it is "bhot jalakia", not "bhut, the ghost" as described by the professor. Anyone knows about this? umesh sharma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Great work!!
