This is the sambar which you will get in all hotels along with your idli, dosa or pongal..That will be thick, creamy and full of flavours..In restaurants they won't add any vegetables except potatoes..I actually like potatoes in my sambar, they give a unique flavour and taste to the dish.This is a special sambar recipe in which you need to ground your own spices and add to it..A great side dish for any of your morning tiffin..
I hope you like it and let me know what you think..
