This is one of the most simplest of Rice variations that's popular down South. Sambar is a great side dish that is a treasure house of numerous Vegetables and Lentils that are full of Vitamins and Minerals. A healthy option for the whole family.

This is the most loved one in my family and it is part of a once a week menu without fail.
What more to say about this beautiful fusion of Rice and Vegetables plus Lentils broth. Absolutely delectable and yum. It goes well with many a South Indian Breakfast recipes like Dosas, Medu Vadas, Uttappams , Idli and Upma.
Not only that, it has a charm of it's own and can be made at main meals to go along with Hyderabadi Tala huwa Gosht just like how I do.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
