I always love to prepare recipes by adding homemade masala powder. I make sambhar masala in small quantity and store it in air tight container. I consume it in next 2 -3 months. I usually prepare sambhar once or twice a week using this sambhar masala. So making Sāmbhar masala in small amount is sufficient, if you make sambhar once a week or occasionally. If you are using this sambhar masala more often than you can prepare it in bulk and store it in air tight container to save your time and energy. You can enjoy the unique flavor of traditional Sambhar Masala round the year.
Making sambhar masala at home is very easy and add a very nice flavor to sambhar which you never get from market bought one. Preparing masala powder at home is always pure, hygienic, fresh, unadulterated and very cheap with very good quality of spices used. I make sambhar masala by using basic Indian spices and lentils like gram pulses (Chana dal), black gram (urad dal), Split yellow gram (tuvar dal), yellow moong dal, cinnamon, dry red chili, clove, bay leaf. Proper process of roasting and grinding all the spices will make a very authentic sambhar masala. If you are looking for more homemade spices or masala powder then do check:-
