I probably will try it sometime.
What worries me, is that your enjoyment seems to be from it's chilli heat
I like hot things, but 20 birds eye chillies would be hotter than I could take
Without the chilli what does it taste like?
Here are some pics of my pickles

You`ll be very surprised to hear that it doesn't turn out that hot.
I would say it is less hot than an average Vindalloo, don't forget there is no Chili powder in it at all.
It is a very tasty dish, try it & if it turns out as mine did you will be very surprised & delighted with it .

I made a mistake !!!! 
The reason its not too hot is because i used Finger Chilies ( slightly less heat than Birds eye !).
