Sambar Masala

Sambar masala is a mix of nutrient-dense ingredients such as coriander, pepper, turmeric, chilli powder, cumin, curry leaves, asafoetida and fenugreek. The mixture on its own can provide a lot of health benefits, despite the fact that it’s consumed in small quantities.

The spice mix also has turmeric and pepper, which makes the curcumin in turmeric highly bioavailable.

When sambar masala is added to the lentil base, the tamarind and the vegetable mix, the health benefits increase significantly. Here are some potential health benefits of sambar powder or sambar masala.
