Paasi paruppu sambar / tiffen sambar / Instant sambar

Paasi paruppu sambar recipe with step by step pictures 


             The classic combination for south indian idli,  dosas is the sambar especially paasi paruppu sambar. I think,   That is why it is named as tiffen sambar.  Whenever i cook idli for breakfast,  the accompaniment must be the sambar.  It is very healthy and also it is perfect for kids and babies as it is less spicy yet very tasty.  

          I have posted some Chutney recipes  for idli,  dosas.  Check out that too.
