Color of the sambar powder | Sambar podi:

Color of the sambar powder or sambar podi(in Tamil) purely depends on the color of the ingredients and how you roast them. When you dry roast the ingredients, please do not roast it till they turn to dark brown color since the color of sambar powder will not have the hint of orange color if you do so.  The sambar powder will be in brown color if you roast them too much. You need to roast only till nice aroma comes. Also, the color of the sambar podi greatly depends on the variety of dry red chillies you use.

How to store sambar powder:

Once you  grind the sambar powder, please allow it to cool for sometime. Then store it in air tight container. It is better to have a separate dry spoon inside if you use the powder frequently. Always use dry spoon to take the sambar powder from the container.
