My friend and I used to go 'Sankalp Restaurant' in my town to eat dosa and sambhar when we craved the authentic South Indian food taste. I love the aroma of spices in sambhar. It makes you more hungry. I tried to make so many time but it never used to turned out that well than my mother in law showed me how to make it, and now I am making pretty good sambhar. So courtesy of my mom in law I am sharing this recipe. She tells me that you can put any vegetable you like there is no rule and no limitation. Just go creative. She also make sambhar with small onion(shallot) it is called 'Ulli Sambhar' or Onion Sambhar.
