Chilli powder Recipe

🌶️ Texas-Style Chili Con Carne

📜 Signature Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs (1kg) beef chuck (1" cubes)

• ¼ cup chili powder (blend like Gebhardt or McCormick)

• 2 tbsp cumin

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 onion, diced

• 2 cups beef broth

• 1 can (14oz) crushed tomatoes

• 1 tbsp masa harina (thickener)

Key Steps:

1. Sear beef in batches → set aside

2. Toast spices: Chili powder + cumin in fat 1 min (awakens oils)

3. Deglaze with broth → add tomatoes + beef

4. Simmer 3+ hours (until fork-tender)

Pro Tip:

• For authentic flavor, use a mix of ancho + cayenne powders

🔥 Why Chili Powder Reigns:

1. Complexity: Blends smoked + sweet + hot peppers (unlike plain cayenne)

2. Versatility: Works in rubs, stews, even chocolate desserts

3. Cultural Icon: Key to Cincinnati chili, Indian vindaloo, Korean tteokbokki

Serving Rituals:
🧀 Frito pie (corn chips + cheese + onions)
🍺 Pair with cold lager or sweet tea

🥇 Other Top Chili Powder Recipes:

1. Homemade Taco Seasoning (2 tbsp chili powder + cumin + garlic)

2. Nashville Hot Chicken (spicy oil dredge)

3. Korean Gochujang Sauce (chili powder + fermented paste)

Heat Science:
Capsaicin in chili powder:
→ Triggers endorphins ("heat high")
→ Best absorbed with fat (hence searing meat first)
