arachuvitta sambar south indian recipe /without onion tomato

arachuvitta sambar south indian recipeIts quite a different kind of sambar more specifically a brahmin type sambar in flavour and feel cause we are not adding any onion or tomato. It was quite enjoyable as it tasted different from usual sambar we do for rice. You have always an option adding both onions and tomatoes into this sambar. Then it will give the usual sambar feel. This time I had only carrots with me to put in this sambar but you can add drumstick,brinjal,pumpkin or any other apt vegetable for this arachivitta sambar. Normally for any paruppu dish I do compulsorily add ghee in it and even for this arachivitta sambar south indian recipe arachuvitta sambar south indian recipealso I have added ghee for more flavour and taste. If you like sweetness in sambar then you can add little bit of jaggery while boiling itself. The amount of tamarind going into this sambar should be in correct amounts otherwise it will become sour. The best accompaniment with hot rice and arachivitta sambar is appalam.
