Green chile powder? Very cool! I don't need no stinkin' chili powder for my chili. It's just red pepper powder, cumin, and garlic. The red pepper powder I use is Korean powder. Wonderful stuff. Deep red, and fresh. Those Korean go through a lot of that stuff. You can get it in coarse or fine ground and it's pretty much the cheapest powder you can buy. I buy it in 500 gram bags.
