Bhut Jolokia, (Serpent Chilli, in Assamese) also known as Bih Jolokia (Poisonous Chilli) or Naga Jolokia (King Cobra Chilli) or even as Ghost Chili, is a cultivar of chilli, probably a hybrid between Capsicum chinense and Capsicum frutescens.
In 2007, the Guinness World Records certified the ghost pepper as the hottest chilli pepper in the world, 401.5 times hotter than classic Tabasco.
