I shared this bachelor sambar powder recipe in my previous post and without any delay i am sharing a simple sambar which can be made using that powder. This sambar has no dal or tamarind in it, so it fit a perfect title of bachelor sambar. But when you taste this sambar you will never find any difference at all. It taste just as good as normal sambar which you make.

The sambar powder has both dal and tamarind in it. That should be called out. We wont get same consistency with regular sambar powder.
