PASSI PARUPPU THANNI SAMBHAR I MOONG DAL SAMBHAR - NO VEGGIES

Yum
Hi friends, sambhar is the main recipe in our South Indian home, festivals and celebrations too.  My mom used to make the passi paruppu (Moong Dal) sambhar for our tiffin, it really goes well with idli and dosas. She used to make the sambhar little watery, coz it will be so good when we have with idlies. 



The idlies will absorb the sambhar, it will be very juicy and spicy. No need tamarind for the sambhar, it will be very delicious and I posted Toor Dal sambhar already. Here, I don't add any veggies here, so very easy and simple recipes, you can make the quick sambhar in a jiffy.
