Hi Raks..I tried this yesterday with dosa and it was awesome..the best part my husband loved it..Thanks u..
Thanks so much Sathya for trying and the prompt feedback! :) Glad you both loved it!
Loved this recipe. My husband is a south Indian and he said it was superb. We had it with idli's for lunch. Better than my m-in-laws sambar. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Hi Raks,
This recipe helped me a lot when my mixie went repair and this side dish amused my hubby very well. It is yummy
Hi Raks,
First, so glad I found your site for south indian recipes. LOVE the step by step pictures.
Noticed the sambhar powder ingredients in this recipe are with less ingredients (toor dal, pepper corns, jeera and turmeric powder are missing) than in your sambhar powder recipe on the side. Is that on purpose? Does this tiffin sambhar not need those other ingredients? Want to make some so wanted to find out before making.
Also, do you have a recipe for the red tomato chutney served in Tamilnadu with Dosa/Idli?
Thank You
Hi sne,
Yes the sambar powder in the side bar is for day to day use and is a tiny bit different, for freshly ground we add just these mentioned. Do try this way, it will be a hit for sure!
I have two chutneys :
Onion Tomato Chutney
Tomato chutney
Hope you like it.
Hi Raks,
Thank you so much for the recipe!!Made it with hot idlis..Came out very well!! :)
Hi Raks,
Made this sambar it came out really well!!Reminded me of the smanbar that you get in saravana bhavan in chennai!!Sluurrp!!Thank you so much :)
Hi, I made this sambar today with dosa and it was absolutely delicious. I recently came across your blog and tried some of your recipes, and none of them have gone wrong..Great job there! Keep it coming!!
