  • 250 gms Whole Coriander Seeds / Dhania / Malli
  • 250 gm Dry Red Chillies Round
  • 25 gms Toor Dal
  • 20 gms Bengal Gram
  • 10 gms Whole Peppercorns
  • 10 gms Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam
  • 5 gms Fenugreek Seeds / Venthaiyam
  • Sambar Powder by sun-drying

Instructions

  • Sun dry all the ingredients and grind to a smooth powder!
  • This method keeps the powder good for 2 months.

Sambar Powder by Roasting Method

  • The homemade Sambar powder can be made by even roasting each ingredient separately and then grinding together to a smooth powder.
  • The sambar powder made this way will stay for about 15 days. So for a change in taste, we at times make this way fresh and prepare the sambar.
  • We don't add Turmeric stalk and Asafoetida to the sambar powder as we add them to the tur dal when it's cooked.
  • Sambar powder can also be used to make exciting roasts!
