  • “I found smoked paprika in our local supermarket’s bulk section.I used this chili powder for this recipe from Taste of Home:https://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Rainbow-Vegetable-SkilletThe recipe worked really well. I had a Hubbard squash the size of a basketball, and the recipe tasted really good. I have noted the observation about the proportion of Paprika to cumin in one comment below, and if necessary will adjust the amount of cumin when I make chili tonight.”

  • “I have been looking for the perfect chili powder recipe to make with my home dried peppers. This one is pretty good but it is a bit too heavy on the turmeric for my tastes. I used dried habaneros with the seeds included ground finely in a coffee grinder for the dried hot peppers and I left out the cloves. I also doubled the cumin because I love cumin! All in all this was a decent recipe but I think I will keep trying other recipes.”

  • “I found it to have WAY too much paprika, and I only put 4 T of paprika rather than 6 T in a doubled recipe. 18x as much paprika as cumin? That’s unheard of! I also didn’t care much for the turmeric. Makes good Indian food, not great chili.”

  • “Excellent-Thanks so much! I used 4 dried red chilis with the seeds removed. This adds an incredible amount of flavor to any dish calling for chili powder. My boyfriend is a total wierdo and insists that everything should be storebought so I just mixed this up and put it in the plastic commercial container. He’ll never know and think it’s just my fabulous cooking! Muahahahahahahaha!”

  • “Excellent recipe! Will use from now on. Thank you!”

  • “We can’t really get “chili powder” (i.e., the spice blend referred to as Chili Powder in North America) in Australia. Chili Powder here, is just powdered chiles! So I have to make my own. Its hard to rate this as you can’t really taste it on its own, butthis has been working out just fine for me.”

  • “WOW!Can not believe how good this is compared to the store bought chili powder.I used this in my chili and I could tell the difference.Thanks for a great recipe.”
