Chana Dal Sambar is another delicious South Indian sambar which goes well with idli, dosa, and uthappam. From the smallest roadside hotel.A delicious lentil recipe made in southern part of India. That’s a version. Most of them, especially my North India friends think that South Indian people make only toor dal sambar and coconut chutney for idli and dosa. Already I have a Tiffin sambar recipe with moong dal in my blog, posted almost 2 years back. Nutritional facts Toor dal is rich in protein to rejuvenate body building cells. Lo, the tasty sambar is ready! Serve it with hot rice or Idli/Dosa and enjoy. This is my mom’s trademark recipe she makes for idli or other tiffin items when guests come. This is another version of the tiffin sambar perfect for idli.Also for dosa, arisi upma and pongal. Toor dal is rich in dietary fiber too that helps digestion. Toor dal is also rich in folic acid good for expecting moms for fetal growth. Sambar Recipe Idli Sambar is also an all-time favourite that is almost synonymous with south Indian food!
