Chili Seasoning Recipe - An All-Purpose
Blend Great For All Your Home Cooking

Of course it's so simple to pick up a jar or packet of chili seasoning from the store, but I strongly recommend you have a go at this basic mix. The flavours and aromas a homemade blend adds to your cooking are so much better than any commercial brand! 

What You'll Need: (makes about 8-9 tablespoons)

6 tbsp chili flakes
OR 4 tbsp chili powder (hot or mild)
2 tbsp cumin seeds 
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp onion powder 
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp sea salt

tbsp = tablespoon
tsp = teaspoon

Directions:

  • If using the flakes, grind them with the sea salt, peppercorns and cumin seeds
  • Sieve into a bowl
  • Add the paprika, garlic and onion and mix everything together. (Stir in the chili powder as well if you didn't use flakes)
  • Finally, crumble in the dried oregano and give another stir

Store your chilli spice in a cool place in an airtight jar out of direct sunlight. Use within 3-6 months.
