For a richer, deeper flavor, gently toast the whole spices (cumin seeds, oregano leaves, dried chiles) in a dry skillet over medium heat before grinding and blending. Be careful not to burn them! Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your personal preference. For a milder chili powder, reduce or omit the cayenne pepper altogether. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chipotle powder. Consider adding a touch of smoked paprika for an extra layer of smoky depth.
