Its physical appearance is marked by drooping, solitary berries with a moderately triangular shape with a smooth surface. The Edayur chilli is primarily utilized to create a traditional Malayalam delicacy called "Kondattom," or sun-dried curd chillies. These dried Kondattom Mulaku can be stored for several months, retaining their distinct flavor. When fried, Kondattom serves as a delectable side dish, paired with curd, making it a simple yet delightful accompaniment to meals.[3]
