It's Healthy, Flavourful meal as it contains all types of Vegetables and made up with less oil. Even you can vegetables as per your choice and availability at home. Everybody has it own way if making sambhar but today i would like to share the easiest way to make Sambhar. Actually, making Idli Sambar is not a easy task. But still I tried to share the easiest recipe.

    In my house it is usually on sunday served or even prepared for lunch, it is heavy. After eating Idli Sambar, there is no need to eat anything else. Work hard in the morning 😜 and then rest the whole day. I make dosa with the remaining butter and everyone likes it at my house.
