sambar premix recipe | instant sambar recipe with sambar mix for travel and hostel with step by step photo and video recipe. instant sambar recipes are not a new type of sambar recipes, but it still takes a sufficient amount of time to cook. moreover, it still requires toor dal or lentil to be cooked separately and thus not justifying the instant way of cooking. however, sambar can be made within minutes and an instant sambar recipe with sambar premix is one such easy and simple way.

well last time when i posted the dal premix recipe, i got so many requests for the sambar premix recipe. technically, dal premix is an easy and simple recipe as it does not require any additional vegetables and even sambar spice mix powder. hence it took me a while to come up with the recipe for this sambar premix recipe. initially, i wanted to add the veggies too in the premix, but later i dropped that idea. basically, this recipe is very much inspired by the mtr sambar powder mix. except for the veggies, all the ingredients like lentil, sambar powder, seasoning ingredients like mustard, curry leaves, hing and even the urad dal is added to the premix. in other words, you take water boil it with vegetables and ad 2-3 tbsp of this premix powder and the sambar is ready. hence i term this recipe as a travel or hostel buddy recipe.

in addition, some more additional tips, suggestions and some more variants to the sambar premix recipe. firstly, the lentil used in this recipe is toor dal or pigeon pea lentil which is commonly used in sambar recipes. however, if you have been practising the sambar recipe with moong dal or masoor dal, you may just replace toor dal with it. secondly, in the premix, i have not added coconut with toor dal, but it can be added to if you like coconut in your sambar. moreover, it also helps to improve the sambar consistency as compared to just the lentil. lastly, once the sambar is prepared, it may turn thick in its consistency as it is rested. therefore, you may have to add some water before it is microwaved or reheated.
