Sambar Masala is a not only a staple in South-Indian bones, but also in every kitchen today. I am sharing this authentic sambar masala recipe that I learned from my granny. Sambar is traditionally made by grinding fresh coconut masalas, but in todays fast life it's difficult to grind fresh masals each time,,,, so this masala can save the time and yet we can enjoy having tasty sambar.
