    We usually make paruppu rasam with loads of crushed garlic, sambar powder and we love it a lot. Dal with crushed garlic gives a great flavor. If you have already tried the recipe, then you must sure try this carrot sambar too.

    If you have not tried, trust me and go ahead, try this sambar with garlic. I had this sambar in a restaurant and could easily figure out the sambar had crushed garlic, so immediately tried it at home and turned out exactly same.

    Adding 3 tomatoes and jaggery also adds deliciousness to the sambar and it turns out perfectly balanced. Check my other carrot recipes
