Sannam Chili peppers are the standard chili peppers used to add heat in Indian cooking. They are deep red to orangish in color, 1-3 inches long and have a searing heat similar to that of cayenne's. The Sannam's peppers thick skin make them well suited for a long simmer without breaking up. This method of using  them will add lots of great chili pepper flavor without unleashing the Sannam's full heat. But they can also be ground into Sannam chili powder or add to dishes after slits having been placed in the peppers allowing more of their heat to be released.

 

Sannam go by a number of names or spellings which include: Sanaam, Sanman, Sanaam, and S4 chili peppers.
