Sambhar Masala is a quintessential spice blend used in South Indian cuisine to flavor Sambhar, a delicious and nutritious lentil-based stew. This masala typically consists of a unique combination of spices such as coriander, cumin, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, dried red chilies, curry leaves, turmeric, and asafoetida. Each spice contributes its distinct flavor and aroma, resulting in a well-balanced and aromatic masala that enhances the taste of Sambhar. The process of making Sambhar Masala involves dry-roasting whole spices to release their essential oils and intensify their flavors. The toasted spices are then ground into a fine powder along with powdered spices like turmeric and asafoetida.
