Desi Chef is right and I should know I have had both, I have a bottle of hot sauce made with the red savina now, I used my Naga Jolokia one!.

I had the NJ in a "Phaal" a curry first made on a dare in the UK for a bunch of football mates, dared the chef to make something so hot no one could eat it and they start a trend, I had a lamb phaal in London at the Taj Mahal, I had to sign a waiver not leaving them liable for my pain and anguish, it was hot, but I made it through the whole dish, would think twice about it now, but given the chance!.

I have only seen the whole NJ in Toronto once, the powder is quite easy to find, but be warned a litle goes along way, it is as hot as pure capsicum extract at 2,000,00 scovilles, one drop to a gallon of chili can knock you unconsciousWww@FoodAQ@Com

Naga Jolokia (Bhut Jolokia) from Assam, India is the hottest chili pepper!.

The Naga Jolokia has been tested at over 1,041,427 Scoville heat units! Almost twice as hot as the old champ, the Red Savina Habanero!.
