How to make Hotel Style Sambar – South Indian Sambar Recipe preparation with step by step photos and a quick video. Sambar is very common south Indian cuisine. Sambar is mostly used as a side dish for idly, dosa and rice. In this recipe, I have used homemade masala paste which offers hotel-style flavour. Unlike normal sambar, in this recipe, I have used freshly grated coconut which adds unique flavour to it. I would recommend giving a try if you bored with making the normal sambar at home.
