No or not much aromatic spices are put into huli pudi/sambar powder when it is made for functions purpose but kept simple with some basic regular ingredients.
Therefore today I’m going to share the recipe of huli pudi/sambar powder how it is made in marriages in Bengaluru. I learnt about this recipe from a caterer, who roughly mentioned the ingredients which all goes into the sambar, as I had tasted the sambar he made I could guess the quantity of all the ingredients and yes it does taste different from our regular huli pudi/sambar powder
