Hi Nanimom,
I have a doubt here...
there are 2 headings : "Grinding Ingredients to Prepare sambar powder" and "sambar podi recipe Ingredients"
Is the "sambar podi recipe Ingredients" to be grounded and this is the 4 tsp of sambar podi mentioned under the heading "Grinding Ingredients to Prepare sambar powder". Also do we have to roast and grind? Do we need to grind corriander leaves and curry leaves as well?
