“Bhartiya Sambhar Masala” refers to the spice blend used to prepare Sambar, a popular South Indian dish. Sambar is a flavorful lentil-based stew or curry made with a variety of vegetables, tamarind, and spices. The spice blend, or masala, plays a crucial role in imparting the distinctive taste and aroma to this dish.
The ingredients commonly found in Bhartiya Sambhar Masala include:
- Coriander seeds (dhania)
- Cumin seeds (jeera)
- Mustard seeds (rai)
- Fenugreek seeds (methi)
- Black peppercorns (kali mirch)
- Dry red chilies (sukhi lal mirch)

Sambar is often served with rice, idli, dosa, or vada, and it’s a staple in South Indian cuisine, enjoyed across the country and beyond.
