Instant Sambar with this Sambar Powder
I have a perfect sambar powder recipe in this blog. But this one eats that. Because if you have this sambar powder on hand, u can whip up the delicious sambar even in the peek hour, because this is going to take just less than 15 mins for you..
She made this sambr powder for her son/ my brother who have to go abroad because of job. So i call this bachelor sambar and imagine a bachelors relieve when he can make a instant sambar after a tiring day at work to have with rice or anything.

Hi.. This s a very nice receipe. Since tamarind s added can it b stored outside for a long time? That s for a few months?
@rajashree acU can store this for a month i would say out..And for more than 6 months in fridge..
Ahhhhhh….the best recipe for me. I'll call it the bachelorette recipe for myself!! Anything that goes instant like this is also perfect for students. Btw Aarthi here is just an idea- why don't you also create a separate student meals section: easy peasy recipes for uni/higher education students. Living in Europe I can't find many S. Asian ingredients cheaply here- but alternatives would be super good (like the sambar recipe you did w/o tamarind 🙂 )
I can't wait to try out this recipe. Your recipes are always I would say excellent. Thank you aarthi
Can we use moong dal instead of Toor dal
@kalai vaniyes u can use
Hi,
Just tried your bachelor sambhar powder as well as the sambhar.. It tasted awesome.. I was little hesitant to cook the sambhar as it had no toor dhal or tamarind.. But after preparing it really smelled nice and the taste was simply superb.. Thanks a lot for such a wonderful receipe.
Regards,
Sowmya
