sambar sadam

Sambar Rice also called as Sambar Sadam in Tamil. As the name says, here sambar and rice both cooked together and served as a meal. This recipe is from Tamil Nadu cuisine. There is another similar dish called bisibelabath which is from Karnataka cuisine. This sambar sadam is healthy, delicious, very simple, very filling and most satisfying meal than the other. 

The combination of veggies can be used to prepare sambar sadam. Here i have used shallots, tomato, carrot, beans and drumstick. You can also use brinjal, peas, radish, cauliflower, etc., Also, for this recipe, i  have made freshly ground masala paste using freshly grated coconut, which gives unique aroma and flavor to this sambar rice. If you don't have enough time to prepare this masala replace with regular sambar powder.
