The right sambar masala is the difference between a dal that tastes good and one that tastes like home. Most packaged versions skip the urad dal and chana dal that give sambar its body, or they bulk it out with rice flour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOurs follows the traditional Tamil Nadu formula: red chilli, cumin, urad dal, coriander seed, black pepper, asafoetida, turmeric, chana dal. The dals are part of the recipe, not filler — they roast into the masala to give sambar its texture and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing else hides in the bag — no preservatives, no artificial colour, no MSG, no rice-flour bulking, no \"and other spices.\" The ingredient panel on the back is the whole list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse 3 tbsp for a sambar serving 4.
