Sambar in Hurry

Hi Friends,

Sambar a staple side dish of South India. I have grown up ordering my all time favourite Masala Dosa with sambar and coconut chatni. As that time i was not much aware about other food and even didn't had any taste for another food like Chinese etc. So when i started preparing this delicacy myself. I found that it has so many varieties and tastes. You can add or omit whatever you like will not miss the real taste. You can make it authentic & laborious way or very simple and easy way. If i am having time then i make it authentic way but sometimes (out of laziness) or in hurry i make it this simple say. There is not much difference but still you can differentiate between both varieties. I made it few day back and served it with some steamed rice and my kids enjoyed it a lot. Its very quick and easy recipe.You can make it within 30 minutes even if you are out of your favorite veggie stock. Hope You will try it and like it as i did.

Notes:-

1. You can use other veggies also like carrot, pumpkin, peas, bottle guard etc, saute them with onion and tomato. I wanted to make it plain so skipped veggies.
2. You can adjust the consistency of sambhar, you can use less water to make it more thick, or use 1 cup less water to make it thick.
3. You can skip ginger garlic and onion if you don't use them.
4. Use of spices is purely your choice. You can increase or decrease the quantity as per your choice.

Hope you will like it

Love
