    Sambar plays a important role in south indian menu..We make different types and different version of them suiting of the main dish which we have with it..And this sambar is made with a whole lot of veggies as well. I have quite a few of them here in my blog.
    My all time favorite sambar is potato sambar, vallarai keerai sambar..You can check out all my other sambar recipes right here..

      @ Sangeetha either one will do, but tamarind is available round the year so go for it, but when Mango season comes try with Raw mango it gives a distinct punch to your taste buds.

      @Aarthi your energy level is gr8, I c regular recipes floating on nearly daily basis. Keep going u rock.

      Great blog Aarthi! I have just made sambhar masala using your recipe. Going to try this sambhar now. Minus the bhindi, plantain and raw mango as i can not get them here in scotland 🙁 i studied with a konkani girl at uni and her mum used to make a narriyal chatni which was dark brown but i cant find a recipe for it. Would you happen to have a recipe for it?it would be much appreciated if you do.
