He boiled a chili, I'm not sure if it was dried or fresh, but assume it
was dry because he boiled it to "soften" it and it produced a vapor or
smoke. There are also many types of chilis available on the planet some
hotter and/or acrid.

All this is not quite the same thing as putting dry chili flakes, or
whole dry chilis into oil and waiting for the oil to be infused with
their essence.
