Oil-free sambar powder (Karnataka style)

Sambar powder is a flavourful blend of lentils and Indian spices. It is an ingredient that adds spice and flavour to a thicker consistency sambar. Its one of the most delicious south Indian foods served as a side dish with idly, dosa,rice, millets and ragi balls.Sambar is thicker than a traditional rasambecause of the use of channa dal in the powder.
Ingredients
350g dhaniya or coriander seeds
175g red chilli( I use byadagi variety)
200g of Channa dal ( can use 50:50 Channa:urad, but only Channa is tasty)
1 tbsp methi or fenugreek seeds
1 round dry coconut grated
4-5 cinnamon sticks medium size
5-6 Marathi moggu or kapok buds
1/2 tsp turmeric or 1 dry turmeric root
Method
Roasted and powdered
- To make the sambar powder, dry roast each ingredient until you get a good aroma and keep aside.
- Dry coconut can be mildly roasted
- Grind all the roasted ingredients together in batches
- Sambar powder is ready.
