Once I posted my mother’s and mami’s sambar powder (milagai thool as we name) I acquired many requests and queries to put up in cup measurements.
Each time I purchase purple chilli or dhaniya pack I needed to measure it in cups and observe down. These a few years, solely final yr I did that for purple chilli and coriander seeds.
However had 1000 doubts that I ask once in a while to my mother and overlook about posting. Now that is the time, I ought to share this sambar podi as a result of there’s a want.
I do have some inventory that Mami acquired throughout her latest December journey. However amma’s powder is completed and what ever left over is so stale.
I all the time have a really feel my sambar powder inventory does not scent as recent because the one amma and mami has. Once I open my mami’s sambar powder dabba, the flavour is simply so recent and good as quickly because it hits my nostril.
Once I open mine and even after I take the danger to take it close to my nostril and really feel, I couldn’t scent any nice flavour like hers. I’m not positive the best way I retailer it.
My mother in legislation has one age outdated container for that she makes use of particularly for the large batch after which a smaller sembadam for taking on a regular basis use.
I too comply with the identical but it surely does not scent the identical 🤷♀️ I suppose I ought to put money into an excellent container after I go subsequent time.
Small batch
I need to apologize to all who requested me cup measurements for very long time and I didn’t put up (although I’ve replied to a few of you in mails and feedback).
Been that means to put up this for very long time, higher late than by no means. So after asking my mami and mother that is the measurement I acquired and gonna use for recent batch I’m going to grind in mixie.

Makes use of
Although named as sambar podi, we name it normally molaga thool (curry powder if I need to sound acquainted).
So this can be utilized in all south Indian cooking – Sambar clearly, kuzhambu, poriyal, kari, kootu and so forth.
In contrast to the majority model, this can be extra flavorful and powerful. Will get thick sooner. So use it like a fusion between bulk sambar powder and the arachuvitta sambar masala.
