Dalley at the farmhouse

"Dalley" a variety of chilly found in Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Sikkim hills. It is round and red when ripe.  It is very very hot and at one go most can eat only about a quarter or half of it...for some...just the smell is sufficient.For this reason it is nicknamed  fireball. However there are some veterans...at least i know a lady who is addicted to it. she takes it so much that it is said her blood has become hot and recently the doctor said that it is not fit for donation.Next time you visit hills do try some of it....it's definitely going to be a lifetime experience.Dalley and churpi(cheese) ko achar with hot momos is what we recommend...
