[CH] "white chilli"

On my lunch hour today, I stopped for the first time at an Indian grocery I
noticed (Cameron, it's in the little strip mall on the hill along Hayden
Run, near Bravo.)
This one looked fairly well stocked, and among the various dried mysteries I
found "white chilli" pods. They're Ruchi brand from India. The lable does
not list any other ingredient.
They seem to have been fried; they have the color and appearance of pork
rinds. They are about as big as my smallest finger. They are very heavily
salted, and it seems there are some other spice flavors in there, too. The
heat is worth at least a 5 out of 10, and a bit slow to emerge because the
salt rounds it off.
Has anyone heard of these things? How do people use them? I'm thinking of
reconstituting some of them to see what kind of sauce they can make.
