Hotel Style Tiffin Sambar Recipe Ratna Cafe Sambar Sambar for Idli Dosa Pongal
Learn how to make Hotel Sambar / Tiffin Sambar
I still remember when I started blogging 4 yrs back I was first or one of few bloggers to post about Tiffin Sambar Recipe or Hotel Sambar Recipe. This Sambar recipe has acclaimed me many compliments from my fans, friends and co- bloggers. At that time I had just point and shoot camera I wasnt able to shoot a good picture of it, so here Im re-posting the same recipe here with recent pictures. You can click here for the link to older post.
This is my favorite sambar for idly, dosa, pongal and even it tastes great with hot pooris. For the people who know about the popular Ratna Cafes Sambar( triplicane, Chennai), this Tiffan sambar tastes similar to the Ratna cafes sambar.
