Chili powder

Chili powder by Sarah Xiong

I use Alton Brown's Chili Powder recipe as a base then I go with whatever wind the Mexican market takes me.

Ingredients

  • Ancho chilis
  • Cascabel chilis
  • Arbol chilis (lots)
  • Chipotle pepper
  • New Mexican chilis
  • Pasilla chilis
  • Guajillos chilis
  • 6 tbsp cumin seeds
  • 3 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp mexican oregano
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
lots of chili powder

Directions

Roast dried chilis in a dry pan over medium high heat til the chilis begin to puff up and darken. Set aside. Dry roast cumin seeds til fragrant and remove from heat.

Combine chilis and all the dry spices in a blender. Store in an airtight container.

I am generous with the amount of chili powder I use so this batch yielded about 3 batches of chili.
