Hi All, BACHELOR SAMBAR!! Name sounds funny right?! But really this sambar helps bachelors so much. When I have only 20 mins left for cooking and when Iam in hurry , I will cook this sambar.It is so easy to make that you can make it in 20 mins and serve hot.The main advantage is only a cooker and small pan is all you need to cook the entire sambar.The sambar goes great with breakfast and dinner but ok with rice too.But I love to have with idli , dosa , vada , pongal etc.. You can also view my EASY SAMBAR recipe  which is my mother's way of making sambar.That sambar is more easier than this :). I made this sambar during pongal to go with Pongal and Vada (Will post those recipes soon). So due to hurry I was not able to click many photos..sorry. Also here below are my other sambar recipes, 1) FRESH GROUND MASALA SAMBAR. 2) QUICK SAMBAR. 3)  SARAVANA BHAVAN SAMBAR. The easy peasy recipe is as below, SERVINGS : 4 members.

Hi All, Posting after a long time!! So I thought of completing the recipes which are already sleeping in my draft .Actually this radish sambar is the first recipe I drafted but somehow I neglected it from posting (may be its too simple recipe!) ,Now after a break I opened my blog and noticed this recipe was crying for my attention so I decided to post it today. Sambar is one traditional and must dish that every south Indian should know. If the new bride could able to impresses her in-law family with yummy sambar then she will be crowned as best cook ( rest of horrible cooking is later part). Now coming back to our recipe,there are many versions in sambar preparation.Every part of south India has its own way in sambar making and each one follows a method to bring out tangy , yummy aromatic sambar. I always make home made sambar powder and store it for months , but nothing can beat the aroma of fresh ground masala sambar. Whenever Iam out of sambar powder I use ...

Hi Everyone, SARAVANA BHAVAN SAMBAR !! There is a magic in this sambar ..Before marriage I heard about Saravana Bhavan Sambar so many times and my friends use to tell me it has such a aroma and taste that no one can prepare such a sambar, After my marriage I was so tempted and I urged my husband to take me to Saravana Bhavan ,Finally one day we went to that hotel and I immediately ordered for Sambar idli , at once I tasted a spoon of that sambar I told my husband "I don’t think it is so complicated to prepare I can prepare this in home also!!" (And I got a stare from my husband too). Soon after coming home I surfed for the recipe and got so many recipes ,I tried all versions and finally came out with the perfect taste of hotel sambar. The main magic in hotel style sambar is the tamarind and jaggery .The combination of this sour and sweet taste gives you such an awesome sambar. Iam so happy to share that secret recipe with you too J...
