There is a chile variety actually named Keriting (which is from Indonesia).
In my experience, however, Keriting are not corkscrew, but relatively
straight, i.e. slightly curving and usually only 1/4 inch wide at widest
part, i.e. even narrower than most "Indian-type" cayennes (meaning the sort
of longish thinnish cayenne that is rarely anywhere as large as 1/2 inch
diameter).  My Keriting usually end up 3-4 inches long.

Being a type of cayenne, I just expected it to taste similar, look similar,
grow similarly, and have similar heat to other cayennes, as it does.
