Lentil stew spice mix
Sambar Podi
2.7 g1 teaspoon
8 g1 tablespoon
Roasted lentil-and-spice blend bulk density gives ~2.7 g per level teaspoon.
Instead of Lentil stew spice mix
Garam masalaUse 60% of the weight, paired with an extra pinch of ground coriander and ground fenugreek; yields a warmer, sweeter profile lacking the roasted lentil earthiness.
Ground corianderMix 2 parts ground coriander, 1 part ground cumin, and 1 part red chilli powder by weight; use equal weight of the mixture for a basic savoury base.
