Once again I was prowling the local Patel Brothers Indian/Pakistani grocery 
for no good reason, looking at the spices.  I saw a new type of pepper, 
under the name of GOLE MIRCH SABITH.  I surfed around a bit and it looks 
like "mirch" is an Urdu word, sort of a general catch-all like "pepper" in 
English.

The pods are small, with some variation in shape.  Most are rounded and 
tapered with a slight point, some look like miniature habs or scotch 
bonnets.  I found a description at backyardgardener.com but that calls for a 
finger-length pod while these are closer to the size of a thumbnail.

I haven't tasted them yet but the aroma seems to resemble a cayennne.

Is anyone familiar with these?  I may try to sprout some seeds but I have no 
idea if they're viable.

The brand is Desi Mills Inc. of Toronto, but they don't seem to have a 
website.
