Now this is the time, I should share this sambar podi because there is a need. I do have some stock that Mami got during her recent December trip.
When I open mine and even when I take the risk to take it near my nose and feel, I could not smell any pleasant flavour like hers. I am not sure the way I store it. My mom in law has one age old container for that she uses specifically for the big batch and then a smaller sembadam for taking everyday use.
I want to apologize to all who asked me cup measurements for long time and I did not post though I have replied to some of you in mails and comments. Been meaning to post this for long time, better late than never.
So after asking my mami and mom this is the measurement I got and gonna use for fresh batch I am going to grind in mixie. Hope it will be useful for many now as many of us are stuck in the places we are and could not get our shares of sambar powder.
Because it is so fresh, flavorful that it will take your cooking to next level. It saves your some bucks as well if you are an extensive cook as we use this for a lot of everyday cooking. I have not used turmeric in this, but if you want you can mix turmeric along when you are grinding. Though named as sambar podi, we call it usually molaga thool curry powder if I want to sound familiar. So this can be used in all south Indian cooking — Sambar obviously, kuzhambu , poriyal , kari , kootu etc.
Unlike the bulk version, this may be more flavorful and strong. Gets thick sooner. So use it like a fusion between bulk sambar powder and the arachuvitta sambar masala. Means, I usually boil longer if it is the bulk sambar powder version but add this small batch sambar powder only towards end.
Hope you get what I try to say. If you want sambar powder measurements for bulk storage, refer this post. Heat a pan until its hot and put it in low flame. Add coriander seeds, red chillies and roast just to feel the ingredients hot. Takes a minute. Transfer to a plate. Add chana dal, toor dal, pepper if adding, rice, mustard and cumin seeds. Same, roast one minute just to heat the ingredients.
Remove in the plate. Add methi seeds and roast well until golden and fragrant. For best results follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips above the recipe card.

Just prepared it??? I used to buy readymade from the market. Tomorrow i m making idlis and realised i am running short of the powder, in this pandemic situation i avoid going out. Since all the required ingredients were available at home. I made the powder using your recipe and it turned out good.
I comapred the color, smell and texture with the little portion of ready made one, and i tell you, homemade is awesome. I just realized that I have a jar of sambar powder in my fridge since years.
It still smells fresh. Will it be safe to eat? You really want to go to an Indian stores to find one. I better get started making this at home. This recipe looks a steal? Best Sambhar masala. I could never make good sambhar with store bought masala.
This gives it the authentic taste. Thank you so much for all the delicious recipes Swasthi. That is obviously not a recipe for a home nights soup for say 6 cups. Obviously you have a husband in the tech industry in Silicon Valley. Hi, I tryed your sambhar powder receipe, it came out well…Taste and aroma is good..

You can store it in an airtight container for months. Tips and Variations: Add 1-tablespoon powder while making sambar for 3-persons.
Roast all ingredients in a heavy based pan over low flame to avoid burning. Add dry red chillies according to your preference to reduce spiciness.
Sun dry all ingredients separately for minimum 2 hours except turmeric powder to store sambar powder for longer period. You can add salt while grinding, but be cautious while adding salt to sambar. Serving Ideas: It is used to make variety of toothsome sambar with vegetables.

Spices in general last a long, long time. Though after a while they start to lose their potency. This sambar powder is no exception. As long as it is stored well, it lasts for about 2 years. Though I usually run out of it within a year. Depending on the batch size, and how frequently you use it, it might last you longer. And then plan to make a smaller batch the next time. As always, I hope you found this recipe useful. Your email address will not be published.
