Dundicut peppers are a variety of small, round (approx. 1/2" to 1" diameter), dark red chili peppers grown in Sindh Pakistan. They are a cultivar of either Capsicum frutescens[1] or Capsicum annuum[2] and are also known in Asia as lal mirch.[1] Sold dried,[1] Dundicuts are similar in size and flavor to Scotch bonnet peppers, but are very much as hot, and are of a different species.

Dundicut Chili is famous for its unique taste and hotness, that is the hottest chili grown in Pakistan and Dundicut ranked No.1 among all other species grown in Asia.

According to a major U.S. commercial spice vendor, dundicuts are "quite hot, with a full-bodied, complex flavor. A single crushed pepper will add heat and flavor to a dish for two." The heat rating for Dundicuts, as measured in Scoville Units, ranges from as low as 30,000 to a high of 65,000.[3]

Dundicuts are a common ingredient in parrot food.[4][5]
