Add a photoI'm so fond of sambar masala, I keep experimenting in my recipes whenever possible. Last weekend I made an attempt to use it as one of the key ingredients for fish marination , which resulted in this delicious Pan-Roasted Sambar flavored Salmon with sweet caramelized Onions. Sambar powder, is a key ingredient and is very popular in the cooking of southern Indian cuisines; especially in Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The key ingredients of Sambar powder include roasted lentils, pigeon peas , coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, dried red chilies, coriander leaves, curry leaves; there are a lot of variations to it depending on the region . The spices used in the sambar masala compliments the strong flavors of salmon extremely well; half of the fry vanished before lunch time !!!!
