Make sambar powder at home – Sambar masala recipe

August 22, 2016 By admin Leave a Comment

You must have tried different types of sambar at restaurants or even at home too. Whenever you have made sambar at home you must have used readymade sambar powder what you have purchased from market. But you can make it at home and that too very easily. Here I am sharing a quick samabr masala or smabar powder recipe.

You should use clean whole spices for this recipe and keep it for your future cooking. You need to roast all ingredients and grind all roasted ingredients to make powder. If you make sambar very often then it is advisable to make sufficient sambar powder at a time and use it whenever you will make any type of sambar dish.

Sometime it happens that you have purchased all whole spices to make this masala but when you are making that masala you identify one whole spice is missing. So that that time you can use normal spice powder and add that powder in all other ingredients after switching of the flame. Like you did not purchase whole coriander seeds but you have coriander powder (what is not roasted), so you can use that but add that spice after switch off the flame. So coriander powder will be roasted itself if you keep it in hot cooking pot or pan. Here I have did not use coriander seeds rather I use coriander powder. 😉

⇒ Do not grind hot spices as it may damage your grinder jar, so let it drops  temperature and then use in grinder to make powder.
⇒ You can add hing or asafoetida. If you are adding hing when you are making samabar powder then remember it when you will make any type of sambar by using that powder as too much hing can spoil that taste.
