Sambar Rice – Lentil Rice
I was planning to make this sambar sadam since a long time. After I saw this recipe in Sharmispassions.com by Sharmilee, I loved it.
I tried this sambar rice and it really tastes like Vasantha Bhavan’s sambar rice 🙂 I added the vegetables to my taste and I’ve also added the green chilli. This is really a very nice recipe and easy to make too. I’ve suggested this recipe to couple of my friends and everyone said it came out really good.
