Tiffin Sambar for Idli/ Dosa is always a great treat to our taste buds. We always love the sambar served with mini idli in restaurants. It is a best compliment for any South Indian Breakfast like Idli / Dosa / Upma and Uthappam. Tiffin Sambar is very simple to make and it is healthy too as we are going to add lots of veggies

Why and how the Restaurant style Tiffen Sambar is different ?

  •  The freshly ground coconut-spice paste and the shallots are the main secret which really enhances the flavor and taste of this sambar.
  • Finally before serving, garnish with fresh finely chopped onions, coriander leaves and also little ghee. The ghee, just before serving, is another secret of getting of Restaurant style Tiffin sambar at home.
  • For Hotel Style Tiffin Sambar | Idli-Dosa Sambar Recipe,  we are using Moong Dal instead of Toor Dal.  Usually we make sambar using Toor Dal. For the Sambar that we usually make for breakfast as an accompaniment to Idly/Dosa, we add Moong Dal instead of Toor Dal. It’s mainly for two reasons. One, it gives more quantity and the other reason is that it’s cheaper compared to Toor Dal. You can very much make the same recipe using Toor Dal, if you wish to.

If you like this Hotel style Tiffen Sambar, then you can also try other Sambar recipes as well.
