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!!"
