I learnt this sambar recipe from my sister’s MIL.When we visited her house,she made this sambar for idli.It tasted excellent.We loved it very much.The combination of brinjal/Kathirikai and tomato/Thakkali was awesome.Sendhil hates brinjal but still he never complains if I make this sambar for idli.Nowadays I prepare this sambar for idli, dosa regularly.It’s a very easy side dish recipe to make in busy mornings as it has no dal.Lets see how to prepare this simple and yummy tomato brinjal sambar for breakfast/dinner!
