Sambar Sadam

Sambar sadam :Turdal and Vegetables cooked in Rice with Spices, Since it is cooked with lentils, vegetables and rice and it is nutritious along with dal with veggies . It’s a complete meal .. This rice for sure will tickle the taste buds of all sambar lovers. . It’s more like Bisi Bele bath, but without much of those spices .. we won’t need to prepare any vegetable curry with this. This has become a usual menu in my home. I am a great fan of this rice dish. It tastes great when served hot with papadam .Everyone in my home like this rice. It goes well with raitha ,Papadam and chips. I am sure anyone who had tried it would definitely love to have it.
