Sambar Masala

Sambar is the traditional lentil soup of southern India, notably the Kerala region. Classically served with chutney and rice, Sambar Masala is a daily staple. The seasoning is aromatic and complex, and almost any vegetable can be added. Sambar can range from thin and brothy to thick, rich and curry-like. Toasted lentils (urad dal) and coconut give this blend both thickening properties and a unique flavor.
