Moong Dal Idli Sambar || Yellow Lentils Sambar – RECIPE POST
This is an easier Sambar recipe, made with easily cooked moong dal or Yellow lentils and takes just 15 minutes to make.
This Sambar is very mildly spiced, more like a soup and the heat entirely comes from green chillies added in the lentils. This makes it very good for kids and people who are not fond of spicy Sambar. Also the buttery texture with fried onions from the tadka is everything.
