udupi hotel style sambar recipe /sambar for idli dosa
It has been a long time I have been searching for an original udupi hotel style sambar recipe.Finally found the recipe from a hindu magazine page while surfing the internet.The Hindu magazine says that the recipe is from a small renowned hotel mitra samaj on car street at udupi. It is a ditto recipe that I have followed,but with very minimal changes. If you add onions and tomatoes it becomes a usual sambar. So,if you want the exact taste 
try as given in the recipe,you will be definitely surprised. Many don’t like their main menu to be sweetish. But,for me I love the hint of hiding sweetness even in my rasams. Its a different type of tiffin sambar to try.Its not only different but addictive too!This udupi hotel style sambar recipe needs no onions and tomatoes with limited vegetables like pumpkin,brinjal and yam as options. I like it to enjoy as thin sambar to go with hot idli or dosa. Use byadgi chilli if possible which gives the real colour with less spiciness.
