SAMBAR

Sambar is a South Indian Lentil soup with vegetables, spices and tempering. Sambar is usually served with with idlies, dosa or rava pongal. This Sambar is considered one of the wholesome healthy dish that you can serve with rice or breakfast dishes, since it has dal, vegetables packed in a single dish. 

Can you believe that there are many varieties of sambar recipes, like udupi sambar, kalyana sambar, arachuvitta sambar, drumstick sambar. My all-time favorite sambar is vallarai keerai sambar. This recipe is a special sambar recipe which whole lots of veggies which goes well with rice.

Sambar is made in few simple steps. It starts by cooking dal separately, saute vegetables with sambar powder, add dal along with seasonings like salt, jaggery and tamarind. You can add a final tempering of spices to the sambar for aroma and be generous with the coriander leaves.
