Sambar Pudi (also known as Sambar Masala or Sambar Powder) is a traditional spice mix that originated in Tamil Nadu and is widely used across South India. This essential seasoning transforms simple lentils and vegetables into the flavorful, aromatic Sambar that's a staple in every South Indian household. The word "Pudi" means powder in Tamil and Kannada, making this the heart and soul of authentic South Indian cuisine.
