Dalle Chilli – The Fiery Jewel of Sikkim
Dalle Khursani, also known as Dalle Chilli, is a rare and iconic chili variety native to the Eastern Himalayan region, primarily cultivated in Sikkim, Darjeeling, and parts of Nepal and Bhutan. The word “Dalle” means round in Nepali, aptly describing the chili’s small, cherry-like shape.
Geographical Indication (GI) Tag
In 2020, Dalle Khursani received the prestigious GI tag, officially recognizing it as a unique agricultural product of Sikkim. This not only validates its authenticity but also protects its traditional identity and origin.
