Amazing effort. Can you explain what's the difference between the two recipes of Sambar Powder. Tha ratios of ingredients is quite different.
Dear PS, Thank you very much for the compliments.There in not much difference in taste between the two sambar powder.The first recipe is my anunty's and the second one is my mother's recipe.I have tried both and there is not much difference but for the sake of others I have given both so that they can prepare whatever is convenient for them.

Yes, you are right. First one in the box is only my mother's recipe. By mistake I have mentioned it the other way in the comment.
