Sambar Karam – Traditional Curry Spice Mix Powder

Ingredients:- Dried Chillie’s, Salt, Dill (Menthulu), Cumin (Jeera), Garlic, Coriander (Dhaniyalu), Essential Oils

Sambar Karam is an essential spice blend in many South Indian kitchens, especially in Andhra, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Kerala & other South Indian households, with an aromatic profile that enhances the flavour of traditional dishes like sambar, rasam, vegetable curries, and even idli and dosa accompaniments. Known across Telugu households as సాంబార్ కారం (Sambar Karam) or Sambar Masala, and called Sambar Podi in Tamil, this signature South Indian spice blend is the foundation of the most beloved dish in every home kitchen from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana to Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala.

The key to an exceptional Sambar Powder lies in the quality and proportion of spices used, and this aromatic powder is made by roasting and grinding a combination of whole spices to create a balanced and distinct flavour profile. At GSR Foods, our Sambar Karam is crafted with the utmost care using Dried Chillies, Salt, Dill (Menthulu), Cumin (Jeera), Garlic, Coriander (Dhaniyalu), and Essential Oils, each ingredient contributing its own distinct layer of heat, earthiness, tang, and herbal warmth to create a uniquely flavourful Andhra-style spice blend. The inclusion of Dill (Menthulu) and Garlic sets this Sambar Karam apart from generic versions, lending it a deeper, more complex base note that is the quiet signature of authentic Telugu home cooking. Made in small batches with absolutely no artificial preservatives, our Sambar Karam delivers the genuine, fragrant warmth of a homemade South Indian spice powder straight to your kitchen across India.
