Sambar is traditional and very popular south Indian cusine. We can prepare sambar in many ways, but sambar prepared using freshly ground masala paste gives fresh aroma and gives good taste with all added spices. Sambar prepared using freshly ground masala taste very good than sambar using powder. My mom always prefers preparing sambar with fresh ground masala. I usually prefer to add multiple vegitables to make it much healthier 🤗. You can have this sambar with steamed rice, idli, dosa, badav and pongal.
Different ways of preparing masala
1) By frying all the spices with coconut and make it paste.
2) By grinding only coconut and adding all powders(coriander,cumin, Funugreek powder etc.,) or sambar powder .
Both the ways gives good taste. But if you talk about good aroma yes i prefer 1st way 🤗🤗. TodayI am using drumsticks, carrot and beans in sambar.I will post sambar powder, sambar using sambar powder and all varieties of sambar soon..
