Method for Making Sambar Powder |
Step 1) We need to roast all the ingredients separately.From the start till the end roast all the ingredients in a low heat to prevent from burning.First I am going to roast Dried red Chilies.Roast it for sometime and transfer the roasted chilies to a plate.Then Coriander Seeds,roast until it changes to golden brown.
Step 2) Then I am going to roast Chana dal again in a low heat until it turns golden brown
Lets transfer.Next I am going to roast Toor dal, once it changes its
color transfer this to the same plate
Step 3) Then urad dal,roast it for sometime until you feel a nice
aroma,perfect lets transfer
Then roast the rice (any kind of rice is fine).Rice is added to thicken the sambar.
Step 4) Followed by rice I am going to roast cumin seeds
they don’t take much time, few seconds is enough. Then finally roast the fenugreek seeds and once it get a nice golden color transfer this to
the same plate
Step 5) Cool all the ingredients completely before grinding. Once they are cooled completely transfer all the roasted ingredients to a blender and
grind.Once they are half done add asafoetida and turmeric powder
and again grind it to a very fine powder.If you have whole asafoetida then roast for few seconds after turning off the heat and then grind.
Step 6) Spread this on a paper to cool and after
this cools completely store this in a airtight container.Do not use wet hands or spoon.That’s it,our Sambar powder is ready.Use 2 Tbsp of this power when making sambar.

ReplyDeleteHi Steff, I did try using your sambar powder recipe to make sambar yesterday however it turned out to be too spicy. Wasn’t edible. Could it be because the dried red chillies were too spicy and that I could have used 50g instead of 100g? I tried your other recipes and turned out well and delicious.
ReplyDeleteYes sissy some chillies are too spicy one alternative solution is that u can roast and grind all other ingredients except chilli then mix both powder together then the spice level will be balanced hope this helps you
