Dunkin' dal donuts! Sambar's one of *the* best soup/stews on the planet. Keep 'em coming, Suganya!

I love the "if you don't like sambar, chances are you haven't tasted the right kind!" :) I love sambar too & you're right it's an essential past of most South Indian cuisine! The photographs are beautiful, Suganya!

What perfect vadais...on this trip I watched as my SIL made her perfect vadais and hopefully I will have learnt to make them a bit like hers - perfectly shaped rounds and all...

I have never tried grinding onion and tomato with the sambar. May be that will help me make the jump from my sambar to 'hotel' sambar. Also my vadais are usually bondas. I should try doing it on the plastic sheet next time. Lovely pics.

Thank you for your compliments. Glad to know that there are many sambar and vadai lovers out there.<BR/><BR/>MS, urad dal when refrigerated before grinding is lot more fluffier and yields more batter.<BR/><BR/>Sandeepa, Arachu vitta sambar loosely means sambar made with fresh ground spices. You can also make this with sambar powder. Saravana Bhavan vadais are to die for.

I've never had or heard of this dish before, but it certainly sounds good. :)

I have had sambhar-vadai but never garnished with onion and tomatoes. They look too pretty for words.<BR/>And does Arachu Vitta Sambhar mean anything special ?<BR/>I have been hooked on to Sarvana Bhawan these days, and recently had mini idlys soaked in sambhar . The sambhar was more dal like than the usual sambhar they serve, I loved it though but was wondering if it is a separete sambhar that
