Mixed Vegetable Sambar Recipe with step by step instructions.Telugu Version.

we may get bored of eating any other recipe but not the Sambaar.it’s divine taste is like heaven.different people prepare this recipe in few different ways.I had also tried many ways but I felt this method easy.I got this recipe from my sister Sasi.my husband and daughter like this recipe so much.I prepare this once in a week.the leftover sambar can be stored refrigerator and used on the next day.I use to add a little jaggery to the leftover sambar and use it for breakfast recipes like idli, dosa, and vadas.it tastes good even with sooji upma also.

this recipe goes well with fish fry, chicken fry, tindora fry, okra fry and chicken biryani.my favorite combination is with biryani.I didn’t know this combination before.but once when I came to Telangana my food habits changed a lot.if you are listening to this for the first time then you should definitely try the combination.you can also use lemon instead of tamarind.but you need to squeeze out the juice after you turn off the stove.if you are using lemon juice you need to use it on the same day within 10 hours.sour green mangoes can also be used instead of tamarind.I hope you try and enjoy this recipe.
