annapoorna hotel sambar Recipe – , Hotel Style Sambar recipe – Side for idli, Dosa and rice – Sambar Recipes

My husband loves sambar with literally anything even with Chapathi ?. I saw this recipe very long time ago at Kannamacooks. Since it is done with freshly grinded masala I bookmarked it. I have posted udupi sambar  in my space before. It is using sambar podi with fresh spices. So initially I thought this one would taste similar. To my surprise it tasted miles apart. I loved the blend of jaggery at the time of grinding the masala itself. Seasoning at the end really brought flavour. Also using sesame oil made the difference-.

Chana dal – 1.5 teaspoon
