Chettinad sambhar powder

Chettinad Sambhar Podi

3 g1 teaspoon

9 g1 tablespoon

Spice-blend bulk density about 0.6 g/ml.

No true Chettinad blend; sambhar masala is the closest ready substitute.

• 
  Lentil stew spice mix

  Use the same weight. Milder and less complex; add extra ground black pepper if you want more heat.

• 
  Garam masala

  Use 60% of the weight and add ground black pepper to taste. Warmer and less sour; not a true Chettinad flavour.
