Notes

Thai Bird chilis might be LITTLE but they are MIGHTY. Start out with just a little and then add more according to your desired heat level. Also, you may want to wear gloves whilst cutting up your chilis or at least make sure you do not rub your eyes or any body part until you wash your hands well. You will only do that once! Feel free to use other chili peppers you have on hand as a substitute but note that each has a different Scoville heat index.
