Sambar Powder

HOME MADE SOUTH INDIAN SAMBAR POWDER:

This is my mother's version of typical Tamil Nadu  sambar powder. It can also be used for poriyals, kootus apart from normal sambar.


INGREDIENTS:
[ For 1/4 kg sambar powder]

Dry Red Chili - 1/4 kg
Coriander seeds - 1/4 kg
Bengal Gram(Kadalai paruppu) - 100 gms
Toor Dal- 100 gms
Whole black pepper - 50 gms
Cumin seeds - 50 gms
Fenugreek seeds(Vendhayam) - 50 gms
poppy seeds(Kasa kasa) - 50 gms
*Dried Whole Turmeric  - 50 gms
Asafoetida - 10 gms

METHOD :

 Heat tawa. Dry roast coriander seeds slightly for 2 minutes. Then add remaining ingredients and dry roast for 1-2 minutes.. Do not over roast and burn it. Switch off the flame and allow it to cool. Grind them to a fine powder.

NOTE : If you dont get Whole turmeric, you can use turmeric powder 50 gms. But , you dont need to dry roast the turmeric powder. Instead, after you grind sambar powder, add turmeric powder to that and mix well.
