Ideal for bachelors and working women to prepare in busy mornings and lazy nights.We call this as Kadala maavu sambar in Tamil. Its a quick and no dal, no vegetable sambar for idli.

HOW TO MAKE BESAN SAMBAR - METHOD
|
Note
This sambar should be watery.So add water whenever gravy becomes thick . We should add asafetida/hing, 1/8tsp while seasoning and 1/8 tsp during boiling!!This gives the flavor for the dish!! So I mentioned twice to add hing. If you use sambar powder instead of green chillies, color and flavor of this sambar will vary. Note: For chapathi, we follow the same procedure but instead of tamarind extract, we use lemon juice or tomato pieces.Gravy should be thicker than this.We add lemon juice at the end i.e. after removing from the flame. |
Delicious sambar is ready to serve hot with idli & dosa adding sesame oil !
