The “heat” for the sauce can be controlled by the amount of chilli you use and whether you decide to include the seeds. I suggest you use 4 chillies the first time you make it, and if you find you like it hotter, use 6 next time. Personally I always include the seeds … very tasty!
The sauce will keep for at least a month in the fridge, but we have usually consumed it within that time so it may keep longer.
