Sambar Masala

Sambar Masala ( one of my very own  perfected recipe after years of trial and error) 

4 cup Channa dal

2 cup Rice

1 cup Methi seeds

3 cup Whole coriander

80 Dry whole red chillies

50 curry leaves.

1/4 cup Hing

2 cup Dry coconut Powder ( optional, I don't use coconut powder in here but add to my sambar when make it)

Roast each Ingredients separately except coconut powder in oil till they are almost brown and you can smell the aroma. 

Grind in a coffee grinder or any dry food grounding mixer.

You can mix dry coconut powder to sambar powder and store in an air tight container or just add coconut powder to sambar when ever you make it separately.
