I love vendakkai sambar aunty makes, it took me several days to get the similar taste... Vendakkai sambar is so flavour ful that it tastes good on steamed hot white rice...My aunty makes it perfedctly ans she even says it is perfect for beginners in cooking as it comes out easily....It is a traditional simple south indian sambar recipe...
We don't need any special sambar powder to prepare this yummy sambar i make my own traditional sambr masala for this sambar... It is my village staple dish, they make the sambar with any vegetables... Aunty always insist that the each veggie that we add to sambar gives a unique flavour to the sambar... I have already posted other sambar recipes.....
