How To Make Homemade Sambar Powder
How to make homemade sambar powder an essential spice mix for sambar recipes. It is the main ingredients that add flavour aroma and taste to the dish.
Most of the time I make homemade sambar powder, fresh just enough for one-time preparation. Making it at home is easy and can be prepared in just a few minutes, it is flavourful and hygienic.
Masala powder recipes are the soul of Indian Cuisine and the recipes are incomplete without this blend of spices. Each and every dish from all parts of India have this spice mix, with some variation of the raw spices and its proportion to yield a unique one.
One such easy and simple flavourful and aromatic spice mix is the sambar masala powder.
