Notes

Mixture of dal - sambar powder
  1. You can preserve this powder for up-to 12 months by storing in an air-tight container. It does not need refrigeration.
  2. The masala is already roasted and hence can be directly added to boiled vegetables or a soup or Rasam to quickly serve the final dish. It does not need additional roasting time while cooking the final dish.
