# Karnataka-Style Sambar Powder Recipe

Karnataka-Style Sambar Powder recipe (also called Saarina Pudi) is a bit different from the tamil style [instant sambar powder](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/sambar-powder-recipe-fresh-sambar.html) or the **[South Indian sambar powder](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/01/sambar-powder-recipe-fresh-sambar.html)** my family makes just before making **[Kerala veg sambar](https://www.cookingandme.com/2013/02/kerala-vegetable-sambar-recipe-coconut.html)**. I tried this for the first time back when I used to live in Hyderabad and have loved the flavour since then. However, I do default to my family recipe more often now due to lots of practice making that recipe over and over again.

Dhaniya seeds (coriander seeds) - 250 gms.

Red chillies - 100 gms

Jeera seeds - 50 gms

Fenugreek seeds - 25 gms

Mustard - 25 gms

Pepper - 25 gms

Hing - 1/2 tsp

Instructions:

Roast dhaniya and red chillies in very little oil till it emits a nice smell.

Dry roast all other ingredients till well done and add hing at the end.

Grind all together and store in airtight container. Use up sambar powder within 3 months and make a fresh batch after that. If you plan to store longer, either refrigerate or store in the freezer to keep it fresher for longer.
