Mango Sambar

I love anything to do with Mango.. Mango session brings special joy to me. Mango sambar is one of my favourite. However rest of the family neutral to it. Once in a while I just sneak it in. My mum was visiting me. So took the opportunity to make mango sambar. Now a days you can see mango all over.. Whole house is filled with aroma of it. But nothing beats the mango we get back home. My MIL house has mango tree. Mango from that tree goes well for sambar. I am really missing it 🙂
