Hotel style sambar sadham | Sambar Sadam recipe is a simple yet mouth watering lunch menu that can be made easily and quickly with Rice, lentils and vegetables.

This recipe is very similar to sambar sadham we get in hotels. They cook the rice+Dal separately and mix it up with the sambar. Sambar powder is used instead of grinding masala as its easy and instant.

I have used homemade sambar powder in this recipe. But Sakthi masala or Aachi, both are good with respect to sambar powder. We usually but both and mix it up. (We get the color as well the taste by doing so)
