Organic Sambhar Masala Powder

Sambhar is a lip smacking delicacy in South India. Sambhar is made with wholesome dal and a variety of vegetables. Sambhar is reflective of a broad and ancient tradition of lentil-based vegetable stews in southern India. The vegetables, tamarind pulp, sambhar powder, turmeric, salt, and asafoetida are boiled together, until the vegetables are half-cooked. After the vegetables are half cooked, the cooked lentils are added and allowed to cook until the vegetables are done. Sambar is garnished with fresh curry leaves or coriander leaves. Mustard seeds, black gram, and dried red chillies, and curry leaves tempered in vegetable oil is added to the cooked sambar.
