Chili Powder
(also called chili mix) is a spice mix consisting of various ratios of dried ground chile peppers and herbs.

8 dried New Mexico Red Chili Pods (HOT)
1/2 package (3/8 oz.) Chili Pequin
1/2 Package (3/8 oz.) Chilitepin
24 dried Japanese chilies
2 dried Habanera chilies
6 whole allspice berries
2 bay leaves
2 Tablespoons garlic powder ( NOT garlic salt)
2 Tablespoons onion powder ( again NOT salt)
2 Tablespoons ground cumin
2 Tablespoons crushed oregano
2 Tablespoons crushed sweet basil
1 Tablespoon cracked black pepper
1 Tablespoon Paprika
1/8 teaspoon sea salt

Remove stems from peppers and break them into pieces to fit in the grinder, along with the allspice, bay leaves, black pepper, oregano, sweet basil and salt. Grind to as fine a powder as your grinder/blender can manage. Put the powder in a small coverable container add the garlic powder, onion powder, cumin and paprika cover and shake well to blend.

For Medium heat leave out the habaneras and for Mild remove the seeds from the peppers as you break them up for grinding this powder tends to lump up in storage, so keep tightly covered and in a cool dry place. Before using stir it with a fork to break up the lumps. For making chili, use about 1/3 of the batch of chili powder for a 6 quart pot.
