Nutritional Information
Kulambu chili masala is typically made with red chilies, coriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek, black pepper, turmeric and sometimes lentils such as toor or chana dal. Used by the spoonful, it contributes flavor and color more than significant nutrition. Please check the Nutrition Facts panel and the ingredient list on the pack for exact values and allergens.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between kuzhambu and sambar?
Kuzhambu is often thicker and more tamarind-forward, sometimes without dal, while sambar is lentil-based with vegetables.
How spicy is this masala?
It is chili-focused, so start with a smaller amount and increase to suit your family's heat tolerance.
Can I use it for rasam?
It is designed for thicker gravies, so a dedicated rasam powder will give a lighter, more peppery result.
