Homemade Chili Powder - Couldn't be
Quicker and Simpler to Make!

Making a basic home made chili powder free of artificial flavours, preservatives and colourings couldn't be easier! Buy a bag of dried peppers, add to your grinder and grind away. See the bottom of the page for more complex chili powder recipes.

What You'll Need: (makes about 6-7 tbsp)

1 cup dried peppers (any variety)

tbsp = tablespoon

Note: 1 cup = 16 tbsp

Directions:

  • Add the peppers to your grinder a few tablespoons at a time and grind away
  • If you want a fine powder put the mix through a sieve
  • If you prefer a coarse blend don't sieve

That's all there is to it! Store in an airtight jar and use within 3 months.

Here's a slideshow of how I made it, both fine and coarse...
