Chilli bird eye – Green small | Unda kanthari

Unda Kanthari (Small Green Bird’s Eye Chilli) is a fiery local favourite producing tiny, rounded green pods with an intense, aromatic heat cherished in Kerala cooking. Prized fresh for pickles, chutneys, curries and traditional remedies, these little chillies pack a serious punch. The compact, bushy plants are prolific and crop over a long season. Sow in full sun in fertile, well-draining soil, water moderately, and harvest in about 75–85 days. Easy to grow in pots, grow bags or garden beds, Unda kanthari is a must-have for every spice-loving home.
