Dalle Khorsani aka Cherry Pepper is a favorite chili pepper in Darjeeling Hills and Sikkim, for its moderate pungency and great aroma. It is listed as one of the souvenir items from Kalimpong.This bright red, round pepper is of the size of cherry tomato and hence derives its name. It finds its use in pickles. It is a very good decorative vegetable! Cherry pepper halves are used in pasta. It is popularly used as a popper too.
I took this picture in Darjeeling market. I tasted the cherry pepper pickle in Sikkim. Just one pepper is enough for the whole meal!
wow- this pic looks so beautiful. I don't think I've ever tried this particular pepper- never even knew it existed!!
