Spice Paste: Mix all the dried spices with some water and stir into a thick paste. (This helps "bloom" the spices and intensify their flavor.)
Bacon: Cut the bacon into rough pieces. Fry until crispy and set aside.
Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef in a pan until cooked through.
Chili Base: Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté the onion, garlic, chili pepper(s), bell pepper(s), and celery for about 5 minutes. Then add the spice paste and cook for another minute.
Building Flavor: Add tomato paste and cook for 1 minute more. Stir in the cooked ground beef, bacon, kidney beans, and canned tomatoes.
Simmer: Pour in the prepared stock (broth) and let the chili simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro just before serving. Serve with rice, tortilla chips, guacamole, or sour cream.
