'''Chili powder''' (also spelled''' chile''', '''chilli''', or, alternatively, '''powdered chili''') is the dried, pulverized [[fruit]] of one or more varieties of [[chili pepper]], sometimes with the addition of other [[spices]] (in which case it is also sometimes known as '''chili powder blend''' or '''chili seasoning mix'''). It is used as a spice (or spice blend) to add [[pungency]] (piquancy) and flavor to culinary dishes. In [[American and British English spelling differences|American English]], the spelling is usually "chili"; in [[British English]], "chilli" (with two "l"s) is used consistently.<br />
<br />
Chili powder is used in many different cuisines, including [[Cuisine of the United States|American]] (particularly [[Tex-Mex cuisine|Tex-Mex]]), [[Chinese cuisine|Chinese]], [[Indian cuisine|Indian]], [[Bangladeshi cuisine|Bangladeshi]], [[Korean cuisine|Korean]], [[Mexican cuisine|Mexican]], [[Portuguese cuisine|Portuguese]], and [[Thai cuisine|Thai]]. A chili powder blend is the primary flavor in American [[chili con carne]].<br />
<br />

== Blends ==<br />
Chili powder blends are composed chiefly of chili peppers and blended with other spices including [[cumin]], [[onion]], [[garlic powder]], and sometimes [[salt]]. The chilis are most commonly red chili peppers; "hot" varieties usually also include [[cayenne pepper]]. As a result of the varying recipes used, the spiciness of any given chili powder is variable.<br />
<br />
The first commercial blends of chili powder in the U.S. were created by D.C. Pendery and William Gebhardt for chili con carne. Gebhardt opened Miller's Saloon in [[New Braunfels]], Texas. Chili was the town's favorite dish. However, chili peppers could only be found at certain times of the year. Gebhardt imported some [[ancho]] peppers from Mexico and ran the peppers through a small meat grinder three times and created the first commercial chili powder in 1894.<br />
