If you cannot find dried chile pods, you can still prepare pozole! find yourself a good quality red chile powder(mild or medium heat). In the blender, you will add about 1/3 cup chile powder with 3/4 cups boiling water. Let sit for 2 minutes then carefully blend on high. If you like you can flavor and season the sauce with roasted garlic, sauteed onion, cumin, oregano and salt.
