I seldom do Araichu Vitta Sambar or Arachuvitta sambar as it takes only a bit of time also the sambar tends to be thick. Then When my mum visited me I realized I was grinding too much masala and dhal is also more. We don’t need same amount of dhal as in normal sambar. So Now days I do make it more often and it is not that thick any more. Making freshly grinded masala base sambar tastes really good and perfect alternativw to normal sambar powder based sambars

Urad dhal – 1 teaspoon
