Try this:

* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
* 1 teaspoon oregano
* 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Mix well and use as chili powder -- but only use half of the amount to
start with and then add more to taste after at least half an hour of
simmering, because many commercial chili powders have an ENORMOUS amount
of salt in them.
