Directions
In a skillet, slightly toast the whole cumin.
To wake up the flavors crush them with a rolling pin.
Powdered cumin may be substituted, but do not toast.
Sauté onion and garlic in a little oil until transparent.
In same skillet, add a little more oil and sear meat until it has a greyish color.
Put cumin, onion, garlic and meat in a large vessel.
Add paprika and chili powder, stirring to mix all ingredients, as you add enough water to cover.
Simmer for about 1½ hours, adding salt to taste after the chili has cooked somewhat.
Make a paste of the crackermeal or browned flour by mixing with a little water.
About 10 minutes before chili is ready, stir in this tightener, and cook until chili is thick.
