It really is worth it, a nice condiment, but depending on what country you live in, mustard seeds and curry leaves may be hard to source.

I think the sambar is the most difficult to source for me. It's my second time actually hearing about it.

So many spices are in sambar powder, not worth trying to make a small amount yourself. Best to source if from an Indian supply store if possible. We have to order by phone from the capital here in Cambodia, then have it shipped to a bus station near our home.

Ohh see. Thanks for the info.
I just checked and it seems I can order it online. 😊

Good news, and with sambar powder you can can make sambar too, and rasam, both very delicious South Indian soups/curries.

Wow. I will certainly try these two. Thanks again. 😊
