Sambar Powder Aachi 160g

Description

Aachi Sambar Ground Spice is a classic blend of South Indian spices that allows you to cook an aromatic, nutritious sambar – a vegetable soup/stew based on dal with tamarind in just a few minutes. Carefully selected ingredients (including coriander, cumin, fenugreek, black pepper, chili, turmeric, mustard, asafoetida) give a deep, warming flavor with the perfect balance of spiciness, acidity, and umami. How to use: cook toor dal (or another dal) until soft; separately sauté onion, tomato, and vegetables (e.g., eggplant, okra, pumpkin, carrot, drumstick), add 1–2 teaspoons of Aachi mix, pour in water and tamarind pulp, combine with dal and simmer briefly. Finally, make a "tadka" with ghee/oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dried chili. Serve with rice, idli, dosa, or vada. It also works well as a base for vegetable curries and sauces. Storage: in a cool, dry place; after opening, seal tightly. Tip: adjust spiciness with the amount of mix and tamarind/a pinch of sugar. Check the batch label for allergens (usually contains mustard; asafoetida may be combined with wheat flour).
