Use

Rawit peppers can be added to a dish as is or cut into pieces. The benefit of adding the pepper whole is that it can be removed after preparation to prevent the dish from becoming even more spicy.
Just a little bit of rawit pepper is enough to spice up a dish.

If you wish to remove the seeds, cut the pepper in half and scrape them out. Once the seeds are removed, the pepper loses a lot of its spiciness.

Peppers are common ingredients in Asian and South-American cuisine. Peppers can be added to almost any curry, soup or stew to spice up the flavour. Rawit peppers can also be used to make your own sambal.
