The Authentic Taste of South India

Zaycca Periamma's Sambhar Masala is a meticulously crafted blend of spices and lentils designed to bring the authentic taste of South Indian sambhar to your kitchen. This traditional blend captures the essence of this beloved dish with its rich, complex flavors and deeply aromatic profile, perfect for creating a hearty and satisfying meal.

Our masala features a balanced mix of spices and roasted lentils, which provide a unique texture and act as a natural thickening agent for your sambhar.

Flavor Profile:

  • Warm: Boriya Red Chillis (Gundu Chillis) provide a vibrant heat and deep color, essential for the bold flavor of sambhar.
  • Aromatic: Coriander offers a fresh, citrusy aroma, while cumin adds earthy depth and fenugreek introduces a pleasant, nutty bitterness.
  • Nutty: Black pepper brings a sharp kick, while roasted Toor, Chana, and Urad dals contribute to the nutty texture and thickness of the sambhar.
