It's hard to tell without seeing the recipe, as chillies vary in heat.Does the recipe stipulate large, medium or small chillies!How hot are the preserved ones in the jar!It's probably better to use too few than too many, but can you give us an idea of the recipe!

I suggest that you taste a tiny piece of your bottled chillies.If it is really hot (i.e. burns your mouth) use 3 - 4 tsp for the chutney/sauce.If it is medium hot (i.e. has a kick but doesn't burn) use 10 - 12 tsp.

I get mine from the ethnic food shelves in the supermarket; you get twice as many for half the price of the little spice packets.
