instant sambar recipe for idli dosa /instant tiffin sambar
Each day thinking of what to make is a big piece of work that strikes every cooks mind.If it is the same type of menu then it becomes always boring. For a morning tiffin or evening dinner if you need a different yet simple side dish for idli or dosa then this instant sambar recipe will be more apt.It needs no coconut or any other fussy ingredients. I learnt this recipe from my mil and used to wonder how she carries even a simple recipe to an exceptional level. 
In our mil’s village they use to add besan flour instead of roasted gram flour.I love my mil’s recipe very much.While adding besan you have to roast the flour before adding it to the gravy otherwise the raw small of the besan will surely be over powering. This instant sambar recipe without any dal goes well with idli,dosa or even paniyaram. Sure this tiffin sambar will never disappoint when you feel tired and exhausted.

We are using both chilli powder and green chillies so, use with caution.
Only roasted gram will be apt for this sambar and if you use besan/chickpea flour it will give different flavour.
