I am very happy to share that my blog reached 50000 page hits today. Thanks to all my visitors, friends for their support and valuable comments.
Arachuvitta sambar powder is a spice powder mix used to make sambar. The word "Arachuvitta" is a typical Tamil word which means to grind . Literally this means spices are ground freshly and added to the tamarind dhal mixture. I tasted arachuvitta sambar at my friend’s place and I liked it so much. So I asked her the ingredients for the amazing powder. Since then I started making it often and everyone in the family loved it. Here is the spice powder recipe which can be made well ahead and stored for a quick tasty sambar preparation.
