ReplyDeleteHumble but flavorful is a true statement. Comfort food.
ReplyDeleteOne of my close friends is from Udupi and the sambhar in her home always looked fiery red though it would be a mild tasting one. Didn't know they had a moong dal version too. I think this is called tave in Bangalore region.
