This statement surprises me, unless I'm not reading it right.
Most of the heat is in the seeds and in the stem/membrane. When you remove that, you remove a lot of the heat. So to me, it makes sense that the dish turned out mild, unless I'm misreading you.
On a side note, a method that I started using for removing the charred skins of peppers is to put them in the chicken stock, or water, of whatever you are using, and remove the skins that way. A lot of flavor gets lost when you dispose of the skins, or remove under running water.
If you're picky, you can then strain the charred bits, but I leave them in because over the time of the cook, they will break down & add more smokiness to the dish.
Serious Eats and other websites discuss the advantages of this method.
Great looking dish
