Yes...BUT. Pre-ground dried chillies, like ones available in Asian stores, can be really hot; and to use 2 whole teaspoons might be too spicy. I don't recommend using less chillies to reduce the heat because you will not get as much chilli flavour. Store-bought "red pepper flakes" available in Western stores are milder, but they are in larger flakes, so the chilli flavour will not come out as much. But if you have them, you can give them a quick blitz in the coffee grinder or mortar and pestle to get them more fine.
