Idli Sambar
We usually know Idli n Sambar but what is "idli sambar". It is a special sambar made specially for idlis. Yes i learnt this recipe after I got married from my MIL.My hubby loves idlis. Give him in all three meals he will never say no. So I specially make this sambar when I make Idlis. This sambar is not that suitable for rice but goes perfect for idlis n tastes good with other tiffin items too. This is very easy to prepare. Using small onions adds flavour to this sambar, but if that is not available you can use regular onions but chop it in large pieces.This special sambar goes to Suma's Delicious Dals n to Think spice think Tamarind
