About this recipe:

Sambhar is a definite part of south indian meals. Sometimes, they make it even more than once a day – for breakfast and later for lunch or dinner. Brimful of the goodness of toovar dal and assorted vegetables, it is nutritious everyday fare and is so versatile that it can be taken with rice, idli, dosa, vada, upma, and just about any south indian snack.
