vegetable sambar recipe | quick mixed veg sambar recipe with step by step photo and video recipe. i would project this recipe as quicker and economical version of sambar recipe. typically, vegetables and lentils are cooked separately and then mixed and boiled. with this technique and time and effort would be saved drastically.
i have already posted authentic sambar recipe prepared in similar way. however, it was not having a video and it could be time consuming for busy moms and working wives. moreover, i was getting huge request to prepare a simple and quick sambar recipe. hence i thought of preparing and posting quick mixed veg sambar recipe, yet not compromising on the taste and flavoUr. more surprisingly, my husband liked it so much as he is very particular about his sambar recipes.
furthermore, sambar recipe is open ended recipe with respect to adding vegetables. however, to get the authentic taste, drumstick is always added to get the rich and juicy taste. hence do not skip adding drumstick while preparing this sambar. in addition, you can add radish, carrot, eggplant, beans and potato. moreover, for any sambar recipe, sambar powder is very critical. you can add any store bought sambar powder or you can refer my homemade sambar powder recipe.
finally, i would like to highlight my other sambar recipes collection with this post. particularly, tiffin sambar recipe, hotel style sambar recipe, bhindi sambar, gobi sambar, eggplant sambar recipe. in addition do visit my other recipes collection from my website, like,
