I think that commercial chile powder only contains chiles, cumin, oregano,
garlic powder, and possibly onion powder. I think you should be able to
"taste and adjust" to get the flavor you want relatively easily.

Subject: [CH] chile powder
Help--
I have 8 racks of peppers drying -- mostly anaheim type chiles. I hang the
plants in the garage till they pods ripen and then seed them and dry the
pods. I have just ground them in the past, it makes a good seasoning, but
I'd like to make something like commercial chile powder. Any recipes or
wild ideas would be appreciated. Last year I ground the chiles, and a few
cayennes to give it some more heat. Made good seasoning for chili and
tex-mex cooking. Too hot for some, not hot enough for others.
Thanks in advance for your help.
