Simple Drumstick Sambar
Sambar is a popular south Indian recipe, made with toor dal and vegetables. You can include vegetables like drumsticks, radish, carrot, turnips etc. My choice is always drumstick for sambar that gives you more flavor and tastes more than the other vegetables. This lentil gravy often finds its place in my table as side dish for idli, dosa, vada, plain rice. And also I use home made Sambar pwd , the home made stuffs always tastes much better. In south
