This is the third variety of mixed vegetable Sambhar that I am posting in this website. As we all know, every household has their own way of making Sambhar . Some use ready made powder, others roast the spices afresh and some make the powder to last for a couple of months. Today, I am posting the recipe shared by my friend Sheena Narkar which uses a bit of jaggery to enhance the taste. Recipe link to the Sambhar powder is given below.
