"Two!" chiles in a cup of oil? Half a handful would be more like
it.
BTW the chile used is what I term the 'African Devil' Chile.
This is a small C. frutescens type that grows "wild" throughout
Africa in one form or another. Jim of Mild to Wild and "the
bread" fame may be able to help out with seeds or plants if he
saved any from his crop. Ask him nicely and find out. Others I
have sent seeds may also be able to help and if all else fails I
can send some in an exchange.
Otherwise use a tobasco chile, it is just a larger version of
the same species and not quite as hot, but close enough.
