TOMATO SAMBAR

Tomato sambar is one sambar which i mostly do when there is no vegetables at home other than tomatoes. This is an easy, quick, recipe made with tomato. This is one of our family recipe which i learnt it from my mom. 

This recipe is best suited for working people and bachelors since it requires few ingredients and much less time.

Tomato masala sambar is also a very rich food since we have used poppy seeds.

This tomato sambar on thicker side goes well with dosa, idli, poori, chapati and on thinner side can take with rice.
