Winter Vegetable Sambar

#Feb #Week4 #cookpadindia An authentic South Indian Sambar that goes well with Idlis and Dosas. It is the most loved side dishes that are a must with South Indian Breakfast items. Vegetables make it more healthy and pressure cooker makes the job much more easier as well. Tastes yummy even with plain Rice and Poppadoms. This is personally my favourite with plain boiled Rice. This is one of the most simplest that's popular down South. Sambar is a great side dish that is a treasure house of numerous Vegetables and Lentils full of Vitamins and Minerals. A healthy option for the whole family.
