Method for sambar masala

  1. To make sambar powder | how to make South Indian sambar powder at home | best sambar masala powder | sambar masala with Kashmiri chillies | heat 1 teaspoon oil in a broad non-stick pan.
  2. Add 1 tbsp chana dal (split bengal gram).
  3. Add 1 tbsp toovar (arhar) dal. Some people skip using toor dal in making sambar masala.
  4. Add 1 tbsp urad dal (split black lentils).
  5. Add 1 tsp fenugreek (methi) seeds.
  6. Add 4 tbsp coriander (dhania) seeds. Whole coriander seeds also called akha dhania is a crucial ingredient. The dals (chana, toovar and urad dal) used in sambar are in equal proportion (1:1:1) while the whole coriander seeds is 4 times the dal.
  7. Add whole dry kashmiri red chillies. The secret to the colour of the sambar is using kashmiri chillies. When you use this, you don't need to add any chilli powder.
  8. Add 1 tsp turmeric powder (haldi) for the colour.
  9. Add 1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing) to get that flavour.
  10. Add 15 to 20 curry leaves (kadi patta). Curry leaves is optional but since I love the taste of curry leaves, i add them.

  12. Mix well.
  13. Roast on a slow flame for 3 to 4 minutes. If the flame is high there are chances that the dals will start blackening or burning.

  15. Keep aside to cool completely. Then put the roasted masala in a blender.
  16. Once cooled, blend in a mixer to a fine powder. The blending will take a few steps as you will have to pulse for 10 seconds each time and move the powder to the centre and pulse again.

I feared this may be bitter, but I made tomato sambar tonight and it was not bitter at all. Quite delicious in fact. I will be making this again.

I have never made this before so have nothing to compare with. I was very careful not to burn anything, but I do wonder if the turmeric was added too soon? I tasted the powder and it tastes very bitter to me. Perhaps it is meant to be bitter? I''ll have to wait until I''ve tried it in a recipe.
