Varutharacha Ulli Sambar is a typical Kerala style Sambar recipe that best goes with everything, Rice, Dosa, Idli. Especially for Sambar Idlis, it tastes divine :). When Idli is had with this Sambar without much hindrance topped with ghee and freshly chopped coriander leaves is a bliss.Varutharacha Ulli sambar

  1. Pressure cook tur dal, shallots, green chilly, turmeric powder and asafoetida with enough water to 3-4 whistles. Mash them slightly.

    green chillies and water required and cook until mashed.

  2. Heat little oil in a kadai, saute grated coconut, coriander seeds, red chilli, curry leaves, fenugreek seeds and cumin seeds. Roast them till coconut turns reddish brown.
