Sambar Powder

About:

I have tried most of the brands of sambar powder but none can beat the taste of the homemade sambar powder.If you have spice mill grinder shops near by, you can grind the sambar powder in kgs and store it for years, but people stay in foreign countries have to buy the packed one at grocery shops. so here is the recipe to make the sambar powder at home.try it and enjoy :) 

Ingredients:

Chana Dal (Kadalai Paruppu) - 1/2 Cup

Toor Dal (Thuvaram Paruppu)-1/2 Cup

Coriander Seeds (Dhaniya seeds)-1/2 Cup

Red Chili - 6 nos

Whole Black Pepper - 1 1/2 tsp

Fenugreek - 1/2 tsp

Method:

Step 1: In pan add chana dal, toor dal, coriander seeds, red chili, whole black pepper and fenugreek without oil. Roast till you feel the aroma of the ingredients. Don't roast it too much as it will spoil the taste of the powder. When you see the dal's  color changing, switch off the stove.

Step 2: Transfer roasted ingredients immediately to a dry plate, allow the ingredients to cool down. In mixer grind well, allow the powder to cool down for sometime and transfer it to a dry airtight container. You can store it for months.

 

Note: If you need, you can add raw rice 3 tsp and dry turmeric 1 no while grinding. That will give more thickness & color to the Sambar.
