I'd appreciate advice. I have this good-sounding recipe for the above
dish (sorry, can't copy it, since it's copyrighted).
I've eaten the dish in restaurants but have never cooked it.

I know zilch about hot peppers. The recipe calls for "five dried pepper
pods". Those hot peppers I see in the market are fresh. What do they
mean? And since I don't care for super-hot food, should I reduce the
number of "pepper pods"? Thanks.
