\"sambar\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Only recently realized that I am missing one of the most common side dish of South Indian Cuisines \u2013 The Sambar (\u0d38\u0d3e\u0d2e\u0d4d\u0d2a\u0d3e\u0d7c). This lentil-based vegetable stew is prepared as a semi-thick gravy dish with tamarind and a special masala mix. Sambar is popular in South Indian and Sri Lankan cuisines and is served as a side dish for boiled rice and also for dosa \/idli.<\/p>\n
