I usually prefer making spice powders at home rather than buying it from outside as i feel they are much better than the store bought ones .There is no preservative added and they really add flavors & fragrance to the food.I agree its little time consuming but once job done , aroma coming out from the flavorful masalas is just overwhelming. I have already shared few spice powder recipes here and today its time for recipe of ” Home made Karnataka style Sambar Powder ” – one of the most essential ingredient of any South Indian Kitchen . The recipe for sambar powder varies from state to state and region to region , which is what makes the taste different.Today, I am posting Udupi style Sambar Powder.This easy to make spice blend is the heart for a perfect Udupi style Sambar .

UDUPI STYLE SAMBAR POWDER RECIPE / KARNATAKA HULI PUDI (2)

Making of sambar powder and storing is very common through out South India but not in Udupi region. Usually in Udupi style sambar , fresh masalas are roasted in small batch and ground to paste each time Sambar is made . But since Sambar is made almost daily , now a days to make life easy in the kitchen and simple , people have started making Sambar powder in large quantity and use it as and when required while making sambar . This is actually very handy. I was getting request from long time to share authentic Karnataka brahmin style Sambar powder . So here is ” Udupi Style Sambar Powder Recipe ” for you all …will soon share Mysore style recipe too which is entirely different from this ..

Allow the ground sambar powder to cool off completely and then store it in an air-tight container.Use as required to make sambar .Do not use wet spoon or wet hand to have a good shelf life.
Do try this flavourful masala.. will soon post udupi style sambar .. Enjoy !!!

Notes

To make sambar powder in large quantity , increase everything proportionately. ie. if you have taken 2 cups dhania , add jeera 1/2 cup .
You can increase / decrease red chilli quantity based on your preference .
Use both byadgi ( kashmiri ) chilli and guntur variety chilli . byadgi gives nice color and guntur is for spiciness .
The blend stays good for years! You can also divide the quantity , pack in ziplock and store in refrigerator. I usually prefer to make smaller and more frequent batches of Sambar powder
You can even add few spoons of it while making various stir fries / curries / rice bath .
