When compared to moong dal, toor dal requires more time to cook so I omitted it. Instead of moong dal you can also use masoor dal .  To keep this recipe simple, I used sambar powder and there is no need for any dry  roasting and grinding works.

For this reason most of us prefer sambar for idly and dosa. It's high in fibre and include healthy ingredients like dal, onion, drumstick, carrot, potato and tomato. You can replace any vegetables and dals of your choice. Now let's see some important tips for perfect tiffin sambar.

So try to include any of these two vegetables. The above are...
