Oh thank you thank you! I just bought a huge supplies of dried chiles but didn't know how to make powder out of them. I want to give a batch of chili fixin's (#93173332) as gifts this year but I always just throw the whole pods in the pot. I've seen arbols online but found some locally at a small international foods market. They had a wide assortment of chile varieties and were much cheaper.

Great chili powder taste. Not overly hot. I used 2-tsp in a cucumber/sourcream Tsatziki and it was wonderful. I know this will be fabulous in chili. I'll never buy chili powder again when I can make it better and cheaper. Great recipe Toni. Thanks.
