Chili Powder

Brian Colligan, Thailand.
This is a blend of several spices, in several countries such as where I live, Thailand. When you see chili powder on the shelves in store, normally it’s just dried chilies crushed or ground and generally too spicy for what a recipe would call for. The two alternatives is to 1, buy imported chili powder (costly), or make your own with this handy recipe. Sounds like an excellent alternative to imported. This comes from my good friend, Brian, who does what I do, makes seasonings from scratch that are not available here in Thailand.
