Home made huli pudi| Karnataka style sambar powder
Huli (sambar) is a gravy consisting of lentil …that too particularly Pigeon Pea/Toor dal and one or more kind of vegetables in which we add this huli pudi as masala, temper it with ghee/oil, mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing, and consume it mixed with cooked plain rice.
This is considered to be a good, healthy meal as we get to consume fenugreek seeds, cinnamon, dry coconut, curry leaves, turmeric powder, hing, dhania and lentils everyday in a small quantity consistently.
More quantity of lentil is used to make the gravy thick. We particularly Bangalore (Karnataka) people do not add fresh coconut for grinding along with the spices everyday, rather once in two or three months we prepare large quantity of huli powder and everyday we add in 3 to 4 tbsp of that spice powder into the gravy/Huli.
And occasionally either we sprinkle some good amount of grated fresh coconut as such on the huli/sambar or sometimes we grind together both huli pudi and grated fresh coconut and add it to the huli, which contains less quantity of lentil. So it’s like, more quantity of lentil or half lentil and half coconut or moderate quantity of lentil plus coconut sprinkled over the huli.
