Masala Sambar

Sambar is the famous lentil soup of southern India, notably the Kerala region. Classically served with chutney and rice, Sambar Masala is a daily staple but there is nothing gruelish about it. Almost any vegetable can be added and depending on the whim of the chef it 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. This blend is salt free.
