--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2      tb            Whole cumin
   2      md            Onion -- diced
   3      cl            Garlic
                        Vegetable oil
   3 1/2  lb            Lean beef -- cubed 1/2"
   2      tb            Paprika
   6      tb            Chili powder
                        Water
                        Salt -- to taste
                        Cracker meal -OR-
                        Browned flour -- for thickener

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. Saute 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
1-1/2 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.
