Ingredients:
Sambhar masala is the main spice blend used in many south Indian delicacies.

It can be bought in readymade packets from any Indian Grocery shop or you can make it fresh and keep it ready.



5 dried red chilies
3 tablespoon Dhania (coriander) seeds
1 tablespoon Jeera ( cumin )seeds
1 teaspoon Haldi (Turmeric) Powder
1 teaspoon Kali Mirch (Black pepper)
1 teaspoon Methi Dana (Fenugreek seeds )
Cloves 5 Nos
Heeng or Asafoetida - 5 gms

lentils:
1 teaspoon urad dal (white split gram beans)
1teaspoon channa dal (yellow split peas)
1 teaspoon mung dal
Instructions:
The authentic smell comes due to roasting of the spices and blending them together.

1. Take a small fry pan and put it on medium heat.
2. Dry Roast Dhania Seeds till then start changing colour and take it out.
3. Dry Roast the Jeera Seeds the same way take it out.
4. Dry Roast the Black Pepper and take it out.
5. Dry Roast the Methi Dana and take it out.
6. Dry Roast the Red Chillies and take it out.
7. Dry Roast the Cloves.
8. Now put all the lentils and dry roast them together.
9. Once every thing has cooled down mix them together.
10. Grind them together to a fine powder.
11. Add the Haldi Powder and Asafoetida Powder and mix well.
12. Once it cools down put it in a air tight jar.

The quality of the ready made masalas are not trust worthy, they use more of the cheapest ingredients to add bulk, only few brands have authentic taste.


NB: Whenever making the masala it is best to roast each item seperately as described above, otherwise if you add everything together, then you can not roast each time to perfection.

Tips:
Some people may add dry curry leaves as well in it.
Some people may use bit of oil or ghee to help the roasting process as well.

The choice is yours , enjoy.
