Hi friends,
I am Shantha Radhakrishnan,
Madurai (South India) giving you a recipe about which we would have
been wondering.. Yes, it is Hotel Sambhar. The different taste of the
sambhar was something different than what we do in our houses.
However, I got the recipe from one of the magazines, tried it and
enjoyed it. I want you to enjoy the same also.
