This sambar is something very popular which amma makes often with potato and brinjal. I made Tiffin sambar with Drumstick, it tasted Amazing. If you are looking for Sambar recipes for rice you can try Chinna Vengaya Sambar, Thandu Keerai Sambar, Capsicum Arachuvitta sambar

Tiffin Sambar using Toor Dal Recipe is the post I have shared long back. This sambar is made with toor dal similar to the Annapurna hotel style sambar recipe.

What is Tiffin Sambar?? Sambar made with Toor Dal or Moong Dal, suitable for tiffin items like idli, Pongal, vadai are called tiffin sambar.

Will Tiffin Sambar tastes good with rice? I cant say YES. I don’t prefer tiffin sambar with rice.
