Sambar Powder

Sambar Powder is a South Indian spice blend traditionally used to flavor sambar and other lentil- and vegetable-based dishes; it's known for a toasty, aromatic mix of roasted spices and lentils. Though typically used in small amounts, as a powdered blend it contributes flavor and some nutrients — per 100g it contains 28g of fiber, reflecting the lentil and seed ingredients. Beyond taste, it supplies plant protein and notable minerals like iron and manganese, and contains polyphenols with antioxidant properties, so it can add both micronutrient and flavor value to dishes rather than being only a seasoning.
