LIGHT CHILI POWDER



Light Chili Powder image

Texas chili uses light and dark chili powder. It took some searching but I found what amounts to a light chili powder - or lighter. Use this to balance out your actual chili powder

Provided by PJ991092

Categories     Low Cholesterol

Time 5m

Yield 1 shake, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Blend together and store in refrigerator for up to 6 months. For best results, grind cumin seed into powder.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers: Different chili peppers have different levels of heat and flavor. For a milder chili powder, use ancho or guajillo peppers. For a spicier chili powder, use cayenne or habanero peppers.
  • Roast the chili peppers before grinding: Roasting the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to grind. You can roast the chili peppers in a preheated oven or on a comal (a traditional Mexican griddle).
  • Grind the chili peppers in a spice grinder: A spice grinder will give you a fine, even grind. You can also use a blender or food processor, but be careful not to over-grind the chili peppers.
  • Store the chili powder in an airtight container: Store the chili powder in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. This will help to preserve its flavor and prevent it from going stale.

Conclusion:

Making your own chili powder is a great way to control the heat and flavor of your chili dishes. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and versatile chili powder that you can use in a variety of recipes.
