Periyar Sambar Powder 90g is a prepared spice blend for making sambar, the South Indian lentil and vegetable stew commonly served with rice, idli or dosa. Sambar combines a soft lentil base, vegetables and tangy tamarind with aromatic seasoning. This 90g pack makes it convenient to add the spice mixture called for in your chosen recipe.
Keep Periyar Sambar Powder 90g in your pantry for preparing a savoury accompaniment to breakfast dishes or a rice-based meal.
Periyar Sambar Powder 90g is identified as a spice mixture. Traditional sambar powders often combine coriander, dried chillies, cumin, fenugreek and other spices, sometimes with lentils, turmeric, curry leaves or asafoetida. Formulas vary: this general recipe information is not a verified ingredient declaration for this pack. Check the packaging for exact ingredients, added salt, allergens and dietary information.
Follow the pack directions and a tested sambar recipe. Cook the lentils until soft and mash them to form the base. Prepare your selected vegetables and tamarind as the recipe instructs, allowing enough time for the vegetables to become tender without falling apart.
Add Periyar Sambar Powder 90g in the quantity and at the stage specified on the pack or in your recipe. Combine with the lentils, vegetables and cooking liquid, then simmer as directed so the flavours come together. Check whether the blend contains salt before adjusting the final seasoning.
Where called for, finish with a tempering of mustard seeds and curry leaves prepared carefully in oil or ghee. Serve the cooked sambar hot with rice, idli or dosa. This is a cooking spice blend, not a complete instant stew; lentils, vegetables and other recipe ingredients are prepared separately.
Keep tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and cooking steam. Use a clean, dry spoon and follow the best-before date and storage instructions printed on the packaging.
