      To give a more specific answer, Dahl is often cooked with whole chillis in, then may use more chilis in the temper (if it uses one). My recipe calls for 6 whole green chillis in the lentils, then 3 more dried chillis in the temper. I have never used more than two and two and it’s still arse-tinglingly hot.
