\"Sambhar\"<\/a>
Sambhar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sambhar<\/em> is a spicy Indian lentil soup made with various vegetables and spices. A special powder is made by grinding various spices in a definite proportion and that is the main base for a delicious sambhar<\/em>. It is more common in the south Indian states and every state has its own version. Some have a spicy sambhar<\/em> and some have a little sweetness to it. It is an accompaniment with a lot of dishes like idli, vada, dosa<\/em> and rice. Lot of vegetables like brinjal, ladyfinger, carrot, radish and others are added which makes it a very healthy dish. This is a traditional recipe which I got from one of my south Indian friend and have been making it since a long time. So go ahead and enjoy this hot and spicy sambhar<\/em>.
