Quick question - which is hotter: red or green chillies?

[turquoise]

My recipe calls for red chillies, I could only get green - should I use more or less than the recipe says?
TIA

red are hotter.

Thank you

I beg to differ pixie. Depends on the chillies (bit of a conoisseur doncha know.
What kind have you got there?

Hmm, I thought green actually.

I'm with GdG, think green may be hotter so be careful!!

I think it depends on the chili but I think red. Habeneros are the hottest.

Definatelt depends on the chillies. Doesn't really matter if they're red or green.

Just taste the chillies.Depends what you like. I always multiply by about 3 in any recipe anyway anyway as I lurve chillies. (We used to have them in the garden when growing up in the Pacific. There were a few dodgy incidents. Remember my sister organising a dolls' tea party with them and nearly blinding herself!)
The Caribbean bonnet peppers are the hottest I've tasted followed by the Thai bird's eye ones.

Yikes.
They're about 3 1/2 inches long, very dark green and the width of a very very fat finger, with a stalk on the end.

smallest ones are the hottest

Turquoise....suspect they are 'learner' chillies () Hardly any zing. Bite em and see....

What are you cooking anyway?

You are so nosey moondog

Errrr.......just desperately checking if anyone else cook in batches doncha know...
