[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t was
without presumption but that a Naga would win the chilli eating
competition. So Chetie Khiamngan won and became richer by Rs
*0,**0. What was a pleasant surprise that maiden Amulaya also won
in the ladies category. This contest is based on certain
traditions.
The Naga King
Chilli (Capsicum Chinense/Frutescens) is a traditional food item of
the Naga people. Nagaland is believed to be the original home of
this chilli pepper and Nagaland Government has obtained the GI
rights for this product in ***8. The Nagaland government had in
***9 passed the Nagaland Geographical Indication of Goods
(Registration and Protection) Act, to provide some safety net to
Naga farmers in the cultivation of the King
Chilli.This chilli is also found in
Assam, Manipur, particularly the hills areas, and Bangladesh where
it is believed that Naga insurgents had taken the product there for
their consumption and provided the first seeds when they went to
East Pakistan for arms training. Some Nagas believe that this was
how the Dorset Naga was also discovered.
This chilli
pepper is called by various names such as Naga Jolokia, Naga
Morich, Bhut Jolokia, Bih Jolokia etc. Whatever the names by which
it is called, they seem to be only different varieties of the same
chilli. Nagaland Government has found that there are four varieties
of the Naga King Chilli pepper, each distinct. The hotness of the
chilli is undisputed.
The Guinness
Book of World Records had awarded this chilli pepper the status of
the hottest in the world. A Naga folk tale also talks about a bet
between two friends on eating a certain amount of this chilli. One
of them died after fulfilling the bet by consuming the agreed
number of chillies.
King chilli has
a distinct taste and pungency although some may need to acquire the
taste. While some cannot even touch it, some consume about **7
whole pods in one (meal) sitting, using it in both their curry and
as a chutney. With some people, it seems the chilli becomes
addictive as they can no longer enjoy their food without the same
heat! (Just beware, Americans might steal it and give it another
name just as they did in the case of the Basmati
rice!)
The Naga King
Chilli, despite its reputation, is actually a very sensitive and
vulnerable item. Even after germination of the seeds, and
planting/transplanting very good looking saplings, the trees may
not fruit at all for instance if there was very heavy rains or no
rains at all. After harvest, it has very little staying power and
easily rots. And when it rots, it is like, or worse than, the
proverbial rotten tomato, making all others rot!
As per findings
of Professor Paul Bosland, of New Mexico State University Chile
Pepper Institute, in ***5, the SHU (Scoville heat unit) rating was
1,**1,**4. Earlier, in ***4, Frontal Agritech of Assam, had claimed
a rating of 1, **1,**7 SHUs. This meant that the Naga Jolokia has
almost two times the heat of the Red Savina Pepper which was
earlier the hottest chilli pepper in the world.
SHU is how the
heat of a chilli pepper is measured. This measurement system is
named after Wilbur Scoville a chemist who worked out a system of
diluting grounded chillies in sugar solution till there was no more
heat left. Other methods of measuring the heat of a chilli pepper
have since been developed which some believe are more
accurate.
Naga King Chilli
is used as an everyday food item by Nagas. Indeed, the highest
concentration of this chilli consumption is among Naga people
themselves. The product is highly prized and the cost, accordingly,
is also the highest in Naga society. It is used in many forms as
fresh, dried, powdered and in pickled forms. It is used in all
kinds of food preparations.
Some Nagas use
crushed/powdered Naga King chilli as a pesticide to protect crops
from insects/harmful bacteria. In Assam, some environmental NGOs
also use this chilli as protection against the depredations of wild
elephants.
Apart from it
being the major ingredient used in the manufacture of hot sauces by
a wide variety of food manufacturers, both big and
small,
Capsaicin is
also used as the basis for a tropical analgesic used for
alleviating muscle and joint pain, such as that attributable to
osteoarthritis, and sold under such brand names as Capsin,
Capzasin-P, Dolorac, Zacin and Zostrix, whilst pepper spray pepper,
otherwise known as Oleoresin Capsicum spray, which is beloved of
law enforcement agencies across North America, is produced from the
oils extracted from chilli peppers. (Which is incidentally the
reason why the Indian Defense Research Laboratory was interested in
the first place.)
In particular,
the Assamese Bhut/Bih/Naga Jolokia can apparently frighten off
elephants, and the Assam Haathi Project has been experimenting with
the construction of smoke bombs containing dry chilli and smearing
fences with chilli oil in order to deter wild elephants from
encroaching on farmland.
As concerns the
nutritional value and usefulness, the ripe red chillies contain
vitamin A, B and C. The unripe yellow and green chillies also
contain these vitamins but less. They contain potassium, magnesium
and iron.
According to
reports, chillies do the following: Fight cancer cells; help in
fighting obesity for those with weight problems; helps cells to
produce insulin again in Type 1 diabetes patients; fights bad
cholesterol and prevents or delays heart diseases; provides relief
from diseases like rhinitis and hanti-ulcer protective effect on
stomachs; believed to have anaesthetic effects to block out pain
and may be used to treat chronic pain in future.
The possible
risks are high consumption could cause stomach cancer; may contain
carcinogenic substances; could induce gastro-esophageal reflux;
chillies should not be swallowed whole.
Until about
****5 years ago, the Naga King Chilli used to be mentioned in
respectful and fearful tones in Naga homes because it was so hot.
This respect and fear began to disappear when some gastric patients
declared that they were cured of their ailment after consuming the
King Chilli for sometime.
The Naga King
Chilli, possibly, the only chilli that contains genes of both
Capsicum Frutescens and Capsicum Chinense, is said to be a
circulatory stimulant and also used in treatment of
Atherosclerosis, shock, hemorrhage, heart attack etc. It is said to
combine well with many herbal medicinal
treatments.
According to
medical research, Chilies, in general, help in treatment of cancer
by killing bad cells, obesity through weight loss, diabetes by
reducing required insulin to lower blood sugar, heart diseases by
preventing/delaying oxidation of bad cholesterol, rhinitis and
bronchitis through thinning of mucus, and also reduces chronic
pain. It is said to even assist in food
preservation.
In any case, the
common properties of chilli are Vitamins C, A, B and B6. They
contain high percentage of potassium, magnesium and iron as well as
anti-ulcer properties.
King Chilli
(with due respects to King Khan) like most legends also has a
history and the more you know about it, the more you will relish
this unique pepper.
Thus enjoy your
food deliciously!
