Know About Sambar Masala
The Indian culture has a vast range of spices, be it
whole or ground. Indian food in every corner of the country might be a little
intimidating given the complex recipes and list of condiments and spices that
need to be added in the food.
In South Indian cuisine Sambar is one of the most prominent
and widely enjoyed dishes. Sambar is a lentil based dish that is served as a
side with variety of other foods like Idli, Dosa, and rice and so on. To get the taste of the lentil dish right is a
complex process. You need to make sure that’s it’s the right amount of tangy,
sweet, spicy and all the flavours amalgamate together beautifully to form one
delicious dish. The one thing that adds taste and aroma to the dish is the Sambar masala powder.
There are many variants of Sambar Masalas powders all
across different parts of south India that are used in the preparation of this
dish. The spice mix is usually made with cumin seeds, coriander seeds, curry
leaves, toor daal, chana daal, red chilies and so on. These dry ingredients are
then roasted over a heated pan to cook them before grinding them into a powder
spice mix. This spice mix can then be used in the preparation of Sambar.
This process is a little tedious for beginners or
people who do not have so much time to prepare the mix themselves. In that case
you can always purchase the pre made Sambar masala online.
A pre-made Sambar mix will have all the necessary
ingredients in your hands without the hassle of making it yourself and without
knowing what the outcome would be like. A Sambar masala you buy from the online
store would be hygienic and your dish will come out equally or even more
delicious.
