WHAT DOES BIRD'S-EYE CHILLI MEAN IN ENGLISH?

bird's-eye chilli

Bird's eye chili

Bird's eye chili, bird's chili or Thai chili (Vietnamese: Ớt hiểm, Thai: พริกขี้หนู, RTGS: phrik khi nu, IPA: , literal: Mouse/rat dropping chili; Indonesian: Cabai rawit; Malay: Cili api or Cili padi) is a chili pepper, a cultivar from the species Capsicum annuum, commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is often confused with a similar-looking chili derived from the species Capsicum frutescens, the cultivar 'siling labuyo'. Bird's eye chili can also be found in India, in Meghalaya and Kerala; it is used in traditional dishes of the Kerala cuisine (in Malayalam as kanthari mulagu Malayalam: കാന്താരി മുളക്). The Garos of Meghalaya called it jal·ik meseki (where jal·ik = chili; meseki = mouse dropping). This cultivar (known as කොච්චි (kochchi) in Sinhalese) is also found in rural areas of Sri Lanka, where it is used as a substitute for green chilis. It is also a main ingredient in kochchi sambal, a salad made using freshly scraped coconut ground with bird's eye chilis and seasoned with salt and lime juice.
