Vibrant Sambar Podi

No. This is a cooking spice blend for making sambar. It is not meant to be had on its own.

Cook tamarind water with dal and vegetables. Add 1–2 teaspoons of this podi, bring to a boil, season with salt. Sambar is ready.

1–2 teaspoons is enough for sambar for 2 people. Adjust to taste and the number of vegetables.

Yes. Dry coconut (kobbari) is one of the ingredients — it adds body and a mild sweetness typical of homestyle sambar.

Keep in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Best consumed within 3 months of opening. The sealed jar or pouch keeps well for up to 6 months from manufacture.

No preservatives. All natural ingredients — spices, dals, and dried vegetables or leaves.

About 25 servings from the 75g jar and about 85 servings from the 250g pouch, at roughly 1 teaspoon per serving.
