SAMBAR POWDER

Proud to present my MIL's recipe for sambar podi. We can use this powder for sambar, Puli kulambu, Curries and also for non veg dishes.
INGREDIENTS :
Dry chillies       1/2 kg
Dhania             1/2 kg
Jeera               50 gms
Pepper            50 gms
Toor dal          50 gms
Methi seeds     50 gms
Raw rice          50 gms
Rock salt         a handful
METHOD :
Dry all the items in sun for 2 days. Dry fry all the ingredients separetely except red chiilies.  
Fry salt  for few minutes. This will help to prevent the powder from small bugs.

  2. Thanks for your valuable comment. Rice is a thickening agent.The sambar will be thick and will have good volume.
