We all make Sambar by using ready-made Sambar masala but as you know, we always try to create the restaurant taste by using day-to-day spices.
This serves two purpose -
- Reduces dependency on ready-made spices which are made for specific recipes.
- We have noticed that the quality of ingredients that spice making companies use are not at par with what we can choose ourselves.We have experienced this several times when we have compared our home made Garam masala with the ready-made one.We have tried several brands too but none could match my home made one. As a result of the quality of the home made product, the home made one needs less quantity to be added to recipe than the market ones.We have also created our own Authentic Sambar Powder that you can try with recipe.
