This came out very well. I still remember the taste of the sambar I used to have in one of the South Indian restaurants in Mumbai - always used to get potato bondas where they poured the sambar all over. Now this sambar is nostalgic as it tastes exactly like that one. Thanks for sharing this. Much appreciated!
