There are many varieties of sambar that are prepared using different vegetables and spices, and each one of it has a unique taste and flavor. The one I relish the most is the mullangi sambar (radish sambar) and tiffin sambar. Below I have shared a simple version of vegetable sambar that I make a lot.
