ReplyDeleteSailu,
ReplyDeleteThanks for not thanking me;))) You wanted the brand's name right? Here we go: Sakthi Curry masala powder manufactured at Erode, TN ;)
Lets see your blog tomorrow about the Capsicum sambhar!
Shp,
I did add not one but 2 tomatoes along with the capsicum, but forjot to mention it in the recipe:))) I have this irritating habit of saying forgot as forjot to annoy peeps:))))))
The powder you suggested seems good, let me try it out ASAP and will let you know the result:) But is this that 'araichivitta sambhar' type? Tell me what proportions to add the ingredients:)

For sambar qty shown in the pic, dhaniya 2-3 tsps, channa dal 1 tsp, 3 to 4 red chillies (depemding on sambar powder u hv used) and 2 to 3 tspns of coconut scarpings. We dont use sambar powder for "arachu vitta sambar", That has a diff. procedure. This powder-coconut scrapings can be stored and used for rasam or poriyal or sabji for added taste. btw chk http://www.chooseindia.com/recipe/southindian/index.htm for other interesting recipes :)
ReplyDeleteShp,
ReplyDeleteI said arachivitta sambhar @ adding the powder you suggested. The sambhar qty which I have shown in the pic is just one tenth of what I made;)))) I made one 'unda' of sambhar;))))
Thanks for the suggestion, will check out the link:)
