Sambar Powder

Sambar powder is one of the key ingredients to prepare sambar.This spice powder can be made well in advance and stored in air tight containers. I prefer to make this powder in less quantity and not exceed about a month to retain the flavour and freshness of the spice powder.
There might be slight variations in the preparation of this spice powder as each house has a slightly different style and taste of cooking.
