If you have ever eaten the authentic Kerala food, you would know how wonderful and tasty this sambar would taste.
For the simple reasons that it is cooked in coconut oil and a special masala is prepared to cook this little thick, full of flavours sambhar. This was the first recipe that I learned to make using coconut oil and understood why Keralites use it in most of their cuisine.
