This is another unique recipe from my granny's chettinad
kitchen. In this recipe mustard, pepper and other ingredients are fried in oil
and then ground to powder which is used in making sambar, thus it has derived
its name. This sambar is peppery and no tamarind is used.

Method
1. Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a kadai, add ingredients given under masala powder, fry on low heat until mustard spluttlers and dal turns golden. Remove from heat, allow to cool and grind to fine powder.
2. Mix the masala powder with 2 tsp water to make smooth paste and set aside. If you add masala powder without mixing water directly to the sambar it will form into lumps.
