Sambar Spice: The South Indian Sensation

Sambar powder is a traditional spice mix used in South Indian cuisine to make sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew. It typically contains coriander seeds, cumin, mustard seeds, fenugreek, dry red chilies, and turmeric, among other spices. This spice blend is crucial for creating the tangy, spicy, and savory flavor of sambar, a staple in South Indian households.
