Know about the Recipe : 

Udupi Hotel Sambar is very famous South Indian delicacy and Udupi restaurants are the icons of south Indian vegetarian cuisines across the globe. Since childhood I have been tasting this authentic dish in various Udupi Hotels in Telugu States, Karnataka, Tamilnadu and even in USA. The taste remains same. The secret behind this authentic flavour is its unique "Sambar Powder".

Udupi cuisine has a very special place in Karnataka cuisine that is treating all of us with its pure vegetarian dishes. Generally Udupi food is Sattvik, means they do not use onion and garlic in their recipes. Today I am presenting the actual style of Udupi Hotel Sambar that is served in Hotels / Restaurants. In hotels, the sambar is prepared with the awesome combination of Udupi style of Sambar powder, cooked in Madras style of sambar making. One more major difference is - in hotel sambar they use little jaggery for subtle sweetness whereas sambar onions are added in Madras style to bring mild sweetness to this authentic dish. And I have added brinjal, beans, carrot, green peas and tindora to the sambar. You can add any vegetables of your choice. 

For Sambar powder, we have used fresh coconut and roasted all the ingredients in oil. So, this specially made Udupi Sambar powder cannot be preserved for more time. Do prepare fresh sambar powder whenever needed. 

Udupi Hotel sambar tastes super with rice / idly / vada / dosa. Add little more jaggery when you wish to taste along with idly, vada or dosa. 

Now lets step into my kitchen, know the ingredients, watch step-by-step photos and check out the recipe making video. Try out doing this awesome, authentic, traditional, super tasty UDUPI HOTEL SAMBAR today...!
