Two Chilli Heads. One Obsession.

Bhut Bomb didn't begin in a factory or a boardroom. It began at a dining table, with two friends who believed that chilli could be so much more than just heat.

Jeet and Abhijit have always been self-confessed chilli heads. Whether it was hunting down the hottest sauces on their travels, experimenting with recipes at home, or discovering regional Indian flavours, they were constantly searching for that perfect balance of heat, flavour, and character.

What they kept finding was the same problem—most chilli oils either delivered heat without flavour, or flavour without soul. They knew there had to be a better way. That's when the journey truly began.

Discovering the Hero

Every great story needs a hero, and ours was already growing in the hills of Northeast India.

The Bhut Jolokia—better known around the world as the Ghost Pepper—is one of India's greatest culinary treasures. Celebrated for its incredible heat, it is equally remarkable for its fruity, complex flavour that is often overlooked.

We didn't want to make another hot sauce. We wanted to celebrate the Bhut Jolokia for everything it could be.

Enter Ati

To bring that vision to life, we knew we needed someone who had grown up with the ingredient—not someone who had merely cooked with it.

That's when we found Imletela Aier, better known as Ati.

Hailing from Nagaland and the founder of the cult-favourite Oya's Umami, Ati has spent years mastering traditional Naga techniques, building layers of flavour through smoking and fermentation.

For Ati, the Bhut Jolokia isn't just an ingredient—it's part of her childhood, her culture, and her identity.

Together, we spent countless hours experimenting, tasting, tweaking, and starting over until every ingredient had earned its place.

The result is Bhut Bomb—our signature caramelized chilli oil.
