For a smokier flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of Hungarian paprika. If you prefer a sweeter chili, add an extra half-teaspoon of brown sugar. For optimal freshness, consider toasting the whole spices (cumin, coriander) lightly before grinding and mixing. Remember to adjust the amount of salt according to your preference. Start with the recommended amount and add more to taste after the chili has cooked.
