Tips to make Perfect tambrahm style arachuvitta sambar,
- Very important for arachivitta sambar roast the ingredients, always roast the ingredients at low flame. If ingredients burn then the sambar flavor will get lost. So keep in low flame roast it. While roast always roasts the coconut at the last step.
- Next is dal, use less dal always because we are adding dal while roasting also. use dal as given in the measurement. If you more dal, the sambar will turn like porridge.
- vegetables like drum stick, brinjal, capsicum, yellow pumpkin we can use. Shallot alone makes sambar very tasty.
- After adding the masala, make sure that we are boiling the Sambar for at least 7 to 10 mins so that the raw smell completely goes off from the sambar.
- This sambar stays good for the next day in the fridge, if you are using the sambar the next day dilute the sambar reheat it & then use it.
