Idli Sambhar My Style

IDLI SAMBHAR MY STYLE

Hi Friends,

I do not need to introduce these two popular food items. But i have seen every person has their own style to make this. Some people make only idli with some kind of chatni and other make sambhar to go with some kind of rice etc. But combo of idli and sambhar is so filing that you can serve it any time of the day for a complete food like breakfast, lunch, brunch or dinner. Most of the time i make mix veg idli to go with simple tomato sauce, but on holidays or if there is a gathering at home. Then i prefer this combo. Its so easy and filling itself. 

Earlier I use to think is that sambhar is just a mix of one particular lentil with sambhar powder  and few veggies and that's all. But blogging world introduced me to so many ways to make the sambhar and even with so many different lentils and veggies. Then i tried my own style and this style is always a hit. I only like Ghiya(bottle guard) in sambhar and that i was out of stock made simple sambhar. So friends i am here with very well known sambhar recipe my own style.

NOTES:-

1. Add veggies of your choice, i normally add bottle guard, but was out of stock so made simple version.
2. Increase or decrease sambhar powder and salt according to your taste.
3. Adjust water accordingly, if you like bit loose saambhar then add more water.
4. I used store bought batter for idli, u can make your own style idli to go with sambhar.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT
