some parts of south india.. people do add coconut!! this increases taste, in my next video will try a sambar recipe without coconut. thank for you comments.. well appreciated.
You are from which part of India? First of all coconut paste never add in Sambar. The original sambar powder contains only, red chilli powder, turmeric, coriander powder, fenugreek powder and Asafoetida. That's it, and to enhance the taste you can add udud dal and Chana dal powder 1 TBS. You made a theeyal, not sambar
