Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup dried Thai, serrano or cayenne chiles
1/4 cup dried yellow split peas (chana dal), sorted
2 tablespoons sesame seed
1 tablespoon tamarind pulp or grated lime peel
1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon black or yellow mustard seed
1/4 teaspoon asafetida (hing), if desired
2 tablespoons dried yellow split peas (chana dal), sorted
1 large sweet potato, (1 lb), peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
8 to 10 fresh karhi leaves or 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • In small bowl, mix all tangy sambhar powder ingredients. Heat 6-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Place mixture in skillet; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until seeds crackle, spices turn 1 shade darker and the mixture has a nutty, pungent aroma. Transfer to a bowl; cool 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Place 3 tablespoons mixture in spice grinder. Grind until mixture resembles texture of finely ground pepper. Repeat with remaining mixture. Store in airtight jar at room temperature for up to 1 month; beyond that, it will start to lose its full flavor. Makes about 1 cup spice blend; use 1 teaspoon for this recipe.
  • To make curry, in wok or deep 12-inch skillet, heat oil and mustard seed over medium-high heat. Once seed begins to pop, cover wok and wait until popping stops.

Add sweet potato, karhi leaves, salt and 1 teaspoon of the tangy sambhar powder; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes.
