RESHAM PATTO CHILLI
RESHAM PATTO CHILLI
This native chilli is intensely fruity, tangy, and sweet flavors—reminiscent of tomatoes, plums, and jaggery—delivering subtle heat packed with flavor that leaves you craving more. Simply put, it’s summer in a jar.
Due to climate change, it is becoming increasingly rare, making it even more special.
We love adding it to pizza, hummus, roasted vegetables, eggs, salad dressings, marinara sauce, brownies, daals, spice rubs, and just about anything else for an extra flavor punch!

"I've used chillis all my life, but this has a delicious fragrance that I've never experienced before" - a customer at a farmer's market
RECIPE INSPIRATION
Our partner farmer Pravin Padalia, from Ramod, Gujarat
When we met Pravin we inquired about his farming technique. He replied, ‘I simply let my crop grow after planting it.’ We were curious, so we asked him, ‘How do you handle the virus attack on the chili? He responded, ‘I grow my crop naturally (without pesticides and chemical fertilizers), there’s nothing I can do about it.’ His chilli crop was significantly affected last year from the virus but he prefers not to interfere with the natural order and is willing to sacrifice income. He takes various regenerative measures to enhance the fertility of the soil, which allows him to adopt his “hands-off” farming method and the results are evident in his chillis.
Pravin earns 5× the market rate through our direct-trade partnership.

I’m so glad I came upon Koshna at the San Diego Makers Market event. What a treasure! I tasted all of the spices that day and fell in love with chili—in fact, I loved it so much a got jars for friends as Christmas gifts. My own jar is reached for daily to sprinkle onto everything from eggs to veggies to salads to meats. Delicious. It’s perfect in recipes too. And after you eat, spend some time on their website to read about how they source their spices—it is amazing. You’ll feel good supporting this woman-owned, sustainability-focused, global company with your purchase.
- SSandyaVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 weeks agoFragrant and complex with just the right amount of heat
Koshna's Resham Patto Chilli is a delight to use -- not just in Indian cooking, but anywhere a bit of heat and brightness is desired. Being used to the standard ground red chilli powder one can pick up at any Indian grocer, I was blown away by the complexity of Koshna's chilli. With notes of ripe tomato and pepper, it's bright, zingy, and sunny. I find myself using a pinch of it in many dishes, from rasam and sambar to roasted potatoes to even toasted nuts. I love that it isn't too spicy and that the heat is balanced with so much complex flavor. Knowing the story of this rare, special pepper and the farmer that grows it makes it that much more special. Thank you Dharti for sharing these amazing spices with us!

Very fragrant and adds the right amount of flavor/spice to any dish. I’ve used in saag paneer, breakfast foods, and any meal that needs that extra boost! Will definitely be purchasing this again.

Koshna’s Resham Patto Chilli is magic in a jar. Every time I open it, I’m reminded of the care and rarity behind this incredible spice. The aroma alone is enough to make my mouth water, and the balance of flavor and heat is perfection—never overwhelming, always just right.
This chili has a way of elevating every dish I add it to. Whether it’s sprinkled into a curry, blended into a marinade, or simply dusted over roasted veggies, it brings a depth of flavor that feels both luxurious and comforting.
Knowing how rare and special Resham Patto Chilli is makes it even more cherished in my kitchen. It’s not just a spice; it’s a reminder of tradition, craftsmanship, and the love that goes into creating something truly extraordinary.
If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a jar. You’ll savor every pinch—just like I do!
