HuLi PuDi/Sambhar Powder

 

Ingredients

1 cup Coriander seeds

1/2 cup Chana Dal/Kadle beLe

1/2 cup Sona Masoori Rice (akki)

2 tsp Methi Seeds

2 tsp Jeera Seeds

1 cup Byadagi Menasinakai - cut into smaller pieces

Hing/Asafetida - if using powder then use a generous amount, about 1 tsp. if not, a tiny lump should be good

Method: 

Roast each of the ingredients separately until you smell the aroma of spices; 

Let cool completely.

Once cool, powder in a dry blender and store. 

Tip: 

Do not keep the flame too high; keep on medium flame so that the spices don't get burnt

Make sure that the methi seeds are well roasted; otherwise the sambhar powder could get bitter
