NOTES

1. While adding sambar pwdr ,see that there are no lumps as we are adding pwdr in the water or mix sambar pwdr in little water and add .
2. Use freshly made sambar pwdr for more flavoure . Refer here for recipe – Sambar made with freshly grounded masala
3. We can use tuvar dal or masoor dal instead of moong dal – no need to roast.
4. You can add other cooked veges also .
5. I have used shallots instead of big onion .
6. Adding little coconut oil while frying the onions enhances the flavour..
