Though this is a very simple post I decided to write this for few reasons. It will be helpful for readers when they try few recipes where I use this home made sambhar powder. Beginners would get an idea about this powder too. There are many variations in the proportion and ingredients used for this powder and I follow my MIL's recipe as usual :). Once you taste the aroma of home made powder I am sure you wont feel like buying store bought powders!! Lets see the procedure to make sambhar powder.

Method
1.
Dry roast the dals along with dhania, pepper corns and methi
seeds in medium flame for few minutes. Once the dals turn golden brown add
curry leaves and saute for few minutes and switch off. Roast chili with 1 Tsp
oil for 2-3 minutes.
2.
Cool down all the ingredients separately. First grind the chili
for 2 minutes. Add the dry roasted ingredients and grind till you get smooth
powder as shown.
3.
Store in air tight container and use a dry spoon.

·
You can use the same proportion and adjust
quantity as per your preference. I use 4 fistful red chilies and dals in this
proportion to get lesser quantity.
·
If you want to grind in bulk amounts just sun
dry all the ingredients separately for 2 days and grind in mills.
·
If we grind in home the powder will be
slightly coarse. But I prefer grinding fresh!!
·
Stays good for many months. Always store in
airtight container and use dry spoon. My mom insists to store it in stainless
steel or glass container to retain aroma.
