The Chilly in that dish was too much. Most Sri Lankan Tamil foods have excessive chilly. How do we know excessive chilly?- if the taste of chilly is overwhelming in any dish instead of adding to the flavour of the dish- then its excessive. Ingredients in good cooking compliment each other. The foods of Tamilnadu in India are an example where chilly ads to the flavour of the food and does not overwhelm all other flavours in that food making the dish better taste wise and also healthwise.

depends on the type of Chile powder you buy from the store

There´s nothing like "excessive chilly". There can´t be too much chilly in a dish! Impossible.
