Byadgi chilli, also known as Kaddi chili or Byadagi chili, is a popular variety of chili pepper hailing from the Indian state of Karnataka. It is characterized by its shocking red color, similar to its cousin, the Kashmiri chili. Byadgi chili has a significant heat level, ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville heat units (SHU), placing it among the extra hot peppers such as Thai pepper and chiltepin

In terms of appearance, Byadgi chilli is typically used in its dried form, retaining a rich red color. The chili pod grows to approximately 5 inches in length and tapers to a point. Its skin is wrinkled and curved, a result of aging and the drying process. The name Kadd actually means stick-like, which describes both the length and dried quality of the pepper
