Sambar Rice is my all time favourite. I make it atleast twice a month. Today i thought of making sambar rice, but i thought of using barnyard which was lying in the fridge for quite a while to make it. The result was fantastic, it was fragrant and tasty, i never missed my rice. It tasted exactly like my normal sambar rice.
