    Sambar, Delicious Sambar plays a important roll in southindian lunch menu. No festival or marriage function meal is complete without it..That famous sambar has lots of different faces, it can be made a whole lots of way. Each region in south india has its own way of making it..Some make sambar with freshly roast spices ground and added to it, some has coconut in their sambar, some has white sambar recipe..I will soon share all those avatar of sambar her in my blog. But i too have posted quite a lot of sambar variation here, you can check out my onion sambar, radish sambar, tiffin sambar(which is quite famous recipe here) and my all time favorite potato sambar. You can even check my vegetable sambar too..

    This is a different sambar recipe which is made with drumstick and three different dals. So it is really healthy one..The drumstick added in this gives a very unique taste to the sambar and flavours the sambar a lot. I used my homemade sambar powder for this, that too enhanced the taste a lot. So try this out and let me know how it turned out for you..
