Its my long time wish to make sambar recipe for idli dosa without dal. Recently my reader Suchi Vasan shared an Instant Pottukadalai sambar for idli. Its a very simple & quick sambar recipe that can be made without toor dal, moong dal or coconut. Tomato, onion,
sambar powder & fried gram dal( pottukadalai in Tamil) is enough to make this side dish.
I won’t say its taste is as good as dal/paruppu sambar.It doesn't suit well for Pongal or rice but it tastes good with idli, dosa. Do try it during busy morning hours & make your job simple. Lets see how to prepare Instant Idli sambar using pottukadalai.
