Notes

This recipe has been simplified by using ground spices.  The previous recipe called for grinding your own spices.  We have our own recipe for homemade chili powder.  If you use this recipe to grind your own spices use 3 Tablespoons of the homemade chili powder instead of the ground cumin, coriander, chili powder and star anise.  Note we usually do not use anise.
