About the Product

Guru Foods Sambhar Masala is a convenient spice blend developed to complement the lentils, vegetables and tangy elements traditionally used in Sambhar.

Its balanced spice profile helps provide the characteristic aroma, savoury flavour and spice character associated with South Indian-style Sambhar.

The blend works particularly well with toor dal and mixed vegetables and can be incorporated during cooking to develop a flavourful Sambhar base.

Its ready-to-use format reduces the need to roast, grind and measure several individual spices separately, making it particularly convenient for restaurants and commercial kitchens.
