Always it is good to eat healthy foods. You are what you eat. In recent days we have started buying Rasam powder, sambhar powder and other masala powders from shops. But not all the brands are safe. So its good to go traditional. 

And yes, I have started making all powders at home of my own. Now a days my mom too use to prefer my home made powders.

The sambhar which I made using this sambhar was very tasty and aromatic. It is very healthy since we are not adding any man made chemical preservatives.

Precautions:

• Make sure to roast all the ingredients well so that it turns crispy.
• While grinding in mixer jar, make sure the jar is completely dry.
• There should not be any moisture as it will reduce the storage time of the powder.

Hope you like it.
