Greg's Comments: When I tried this recipe, I used Cayenne chilis, and omitted the cayenne pepper. Indeed it is surprisingly hot; I think the combination of onions, garlic, ginger and chili is one where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. If making this again, I would pur‚e it, or at least mince it _very_ fine.
