Sambhar masala or kuzhambu podi is a blessings for the bachelors as they don't have to worry about preparing masala. Just boil the vegetables and add the masala in it to make sambhar or kuzhambu varieties. No hassle of boiling tuvar dal, grinding, making tamarind pulp etc.
I tried this masala as my son is staying as a bachelor and it is easy for the maid to cook the sambhar without any hassle.
Always make in small quantities and store it for retaining the flavour.
