When will I get chilies?

Well, you're on the right path: to have chillies you need the flowers
first - and then they need to be pollinated, which can be the tricky
part if they're inside. You can let insects do the job or you can do it
by yourself. Here's a nice guide to chilli gardening:

Really, not much to worry about. Peppers are self-pollinating. You can
help things out a bit by brushing the flowers gently with your hand, as
is often recommended for tomatoes, or give the flowers a gentle flick of
the finger, to get the pollen from the anthers to the stamen.
