Amazing effort. Can you explain what's the difference between the two recipes of Sambar Powder. Tha ratios of ingredients is quite different.

Dear PS, Thank you very much for the compliments.There in not much difference in taste between the two sambar powder.The first recipe is my anunty's and the second one is my mother's recipe.I have tried both and there is not much difference but for the sake of others I have given both so that they can prepare whatever is convenient for them.

hi padhu,,am very much happy with ur blog...since i am in US can i grind the sambhar powder in blendor.but the powder wont be fine..is that ok? will it affect the taste?

Hi Padhu,
Can we grind the mixture in mixie or is it mandatory to grind it in Mill?Please advise

Padhu said...

It is very difficult to grind it in the mixie. If you are in a place where there is a flour mill, then get it ground in the mill or else reduce the quantity and grind it in mixie. Since turmeric is very difficult to grind it in mixie, you can buy ready made and mix a little. You have an Arachu Vitta Sambar Recipe which does not need sambar powder.
