Let's talk about chili: chili powder

chili powder
I guess I got a few of you a tad riled up over what "should" go in chili with my recipe for my version of (Portland, Oregon-based) Nick's Famous Coney Island Chili. A lot of commenters said, "where's the chili powder?"

I had to laugh, because my recipe is based around a spice blend. And what is chili powder? It's a spice blend. It turns out that the ingredients in chili powder were all present in my spice blend. Most chili powders include cumin, paprika, cayenne, oregano and garlic powder. Chili powder is no more a must-have ingredient in chili than is curry powder in Indian food. Where's the chili powder? Right here, in its custom-blended glory.
