When Sunita announced her spice of the month as mustard seeds, I was wondering what I can make which would give this spice its due importance, since I add it to almost everything I cook, including scrambled eggs! Anyway, I was giving some thought to the RCI - Karnataka event, when it struck me! I made Bele Saaru following an authentic recipe and its even more special to me since I made the Saarina Pudi (Sambar Powder) on my own, one of the dominating ingredients being none other than MUSTARD!
Kannada-Style Sambar Powder recipe (also called Saarina Pudi) is a bit different from the tamil style instant sambar powder.
