    Drumstick Sambar Recipe | Murungaikkai Sambar

    Drumstick - Murungaikkai Sambar Recipe

    Sambar is staple in every South Indian home and I make at least twice or thrice for a week. But never got bored of sambar. I always use homemade sambar powder and I bet ready made powders can't come near the aroma & flavor the homemade sambar powder gives. I make sambar with drumsticks, potatoes, broad beans, carrots, ladies finger and even plantain stem. Being a drumstick lover, I would say drumstick sambar the best. Let's go to the recipe.
