Just been browsing the web in search of a good source of unusual / difficult to find chillies and seeds, and came across this excellent site:
http://www.chilliesontheweb.co.uk/ (http://www.chilliesontheweb.co.uk/)
Not only do they offer an impressive range from around the world (India, Mexico, Peru, China, Thailand, Turkey, Burma, etc), plus a great selection of seeds and other chilli related goodness, but their prices are really good, and postage is free on orders above

What an excellent site.

It is indeed. I'm still busy looking through some of the recipes and recipe videos, which beats the hell out of working.
Just found their eBay page, too, and pleased to see that they score 100% positive feedback over the last 12 months.
My order should be here in a few days, so I'll let you know if they live up to the rep!

This was sourced from dadu's in Tooting, well known and a good supplier

The only place in Tooting i found that sells Mr. Naga and fresh naga chillies. ;) And Jalpur brand.
Cheaper and busier.
Cheers, Frank. :)

Having received my order this morning, less than 24 hours after ordering, I now find myself seriously impressed by this company. (As the postage was free I was expecting it to take 2 - 4 days.)
Although Indian/BIR is my first love, I adore all cuisines that make liberal use of spices (and chillies in particular), and as you can see from the pic, I was in Mexican mode when I ordered. From left to right, we have top quality guajillo, chipotle, and ancho chillies, and below is a bonus freebie packet of Mexican oregano, too.

The kasmiris are on offer at the moment too.
