Sambar for Dosa-2

Hello everyone.. In the series of south indian dosa , today I am going to share the recipe of sambar. This recipe is actually inspired by my Maa and Hubby. I am lucky to have them as I am foodie and both of them cook very well. I just love their cooking.A masala dosa is made by stuffing a dosa with lightly cooked potatoes, onions, green chilli and spices.It is incomplete without tasty sambar and mouth watering coconut chutney. According to Wikipedia  Masala dosa is listed as number 49 on World's 50 most delicious foods complied by CNN in 2011. It is also cited as top ten tasty foods of the world (2012).Sambar is prepared by cooking yellow lentil and veggies with spices. You have option to add as many veggies to sambar. It can be enjoyed with idli, uttapam and dosa. You can now read as well as watch my recipe just by clicking the video tab given at the end of the post.
