Im SALIVATING ........
Can't wait to try ... with a gooey bull's eye : D


Good morning Angie, This is delicious. The mixture of spices is fabulous.


This looks and sounds right up my foodie alley! I love the flavors. Thank you - and a high 5 for you, hon! :)


I tried it with wintermelon and carrot . It was awesome . Always thought sambar is suppose to be bland . But this version is reali superb . Thx again , Angie .


Only in Indian recipes does one find the comment "easy to prepare" and an ingredient list of 20 or so items... ;-)


I can't wait to try this. I recently adopted my daugher from Chenai. She loves our spicy cajun food with rice but I'm sure she misses some of the familar flavors.
