Notes
1. Always Use a clean and dry teaspoon.
2. The above measurements yields Sambar powder which can be kept for 2 to 3 weeks based on the frequency of usage.
3. My dry chillies are very spicy. Kindly adjust to your chillies
4. My MIL gave a tip, to add some curry leaves also while frying as some kids (even me) throw curry leaves from sambar when added separately. But this is purely optional.

looks so flavourful.. homemade is best..
I also take the easy way out; use store bought sambar podi or chili and turmeric powder.
Now that I see this inviting home made version, I'm jumping high up. I bet it will be most perfect when combined in sambar.
Wow.. Lovely clicks Akila...

love sambar but I always used the store bought powder mix .
The sambhar powder looks so vibrant in color and I am sure it must be aromatic in flavors. Bookmarked.
