I normally do not use Sambar powder for my sambar or curries. My mom just uses the chilli powder and coriander powder and I am used to it. Even I have posted the mangai murungai kathiri sambar which is prepared with out sambar powder. But my in laws use the sambar powder in curries, sambar, etc. So I am used up with both the food. This I learnt from my MIL and she gave the recipe which could be kept for about 2 weeks to 3 weeks based on your frequency of use. Since we prepare this sambar powder in a little quantity, no need to worry about formation of bugs or wastage.
