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?
Aarthi

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 🙂 )

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.

What a recipe! Bachelors like me (though married and living alone in Dubai) this is fantastic. I have already made the sambar powder - awesome smell. Yes, more than Hotel Sambar.
Do you have the recipe for Rasam also. Would appreciate if you could share it with us.
