Seasoned Pioneers | Sambhar Powder

Sambar or Sambhar powder is an interesting South Indian spice mix. It has a nutty flavour due to the addition of Channa dal and Urad dal. The chillies, mustard and fenugreek seeds give the spice mix an overlay of spicy and earthy flavours.

Across southern India, Sambhar powder is typically prepared at home by roasting the whole spices and grinding them down into a fine powder – a process we follow closely. This allows for customisation, with each cook adjusting the proportions and spice levels according to their own preferences.
