6 tablespoon paprika

2 tablespoon turmeric

1 tablespoon dried chile peppers

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon cayenne

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Mix all ingredients and grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle, or food processor

or blender. Spice will keep 6 months or so on the pantry shelf. This powder is somewhat

more pungent and fresher tasting than a packaged brand, so use a bit less.
