The Mullangi Sambhar is an all-time favourite of the South Indians, especially those in Tamil Nadu where it is made very often.

Being simple and easy, it is an everyday fare. The strong flavour and aroma of radish together with the spiciness of the sambhar masala make this a mouth-watering treat.

Cooked toovar dal gives the sambhar its characteristic consistency and base flavour. Remember to add the tempering only at the end. In fact, if you are going to prepare the sambhar earlier, you can make and add the tempering alone freshly just before serving – this will instantly boost the flavour and aroma of the sambhar making it seem as if you just cooked it!

You can serve the Mullangi Sambhar with hot rice laced with ghee, or with tiffin dishes like idli, dosa or pongal. You can also prepare a similar sambhar with chopped drumstick instead of radishes.

Have a go at more South Indian dishes like Masala Vadas or Mysore Chutney .
