Tiffin-sambar-recipe

    Hi Raks,
    First, so glad I found your site for south indian recipes. LOVE the step by step pictures.
    Noticed the sambhar powder ingredients in this recipe are with less ingredients (toor dal, pepper corns, jeera and turmeric powder are missing) than in your sambhar powder recipe on the side. Is that on purpose? Does this tiffin sambhar not need those other ingredients? Want to make some so wanted to find out before making.
    Also, do you have a recipe for the red tomato chutney served in Tamilnadu with Dosa/Idli?
    Thank You

    Hi sne,

    Yes the sambar powder in the side bar is for day to day use and is a tiny bit different, for freshly ground we add just these mentioned. Do try this way, it will be a hit for sure!

    I have two chutneys :
    Onion Tomato Chutney
    Tomato chutney
    Hope you like it.

    Hi, make thin dosa as you make regularly and once cooked, using a knife or kitchen scissor, cur halfway through the dosa like drawing a radius of a circle. Then Roll with the cut end to make cone dosa. I will soon update a video or pictorial for it. Thanks for asking.

    Yes its glass corning ware. Its called VISIONS.

    Instead of potato, pieces of 1 cup bottle gourd (lauki)can be added.Fry some 8-10 Whole green chilli – slit in little oil till it changes with white spots and add after STEP – 4 and bring it to boil.Instead of chopped onion long and thin onion pieces can be use. A spoon of sugar crystal too can be added. Whole this your recipe with above changes makes this SAMBHAR a famous kitty party recipe of my society. And it is always discussed in every Kitty party known as my Mammy's SAMBHAR.
