ReplyDeleteGreat recipe, Angela! Sambar truly is the perfect companion to South Indian breakfasts. The customizable veggie options are fantastic. For an extra kick, a pinch of hing (asafoetida) elevates the aroma. Speaking of challenges, mastering this dish is almost as satisfying as conquering a tough Geometry Dash level!
