Sadhya Sambar is a traditional way of cooking sambar with loads of vegetables and spices. For Onam sadya, you may need to cook so many recipes for the feast. I am sure this easy sambar recipe will help you save lots of time when compared with varutharacha sambar with spices and coconut. Of course taste may not be equal to the traditional Kerala sambar still you can give a try. The vegetables most commonly used for preparing sambar are potato, winter melon, onion, carrot, cucumber, brinjal, snake gourd, drum stick, tomato and amara payar/hyacinth bean. You could even add vegetables like pumpkin, okra, elephant yam, raw banana, tindora/kovakka, beans etc,

Who would ever use 1 cup dal in sambar?!Especially when u only have half cup veggies!
Awesome recipe. I think the previous comment is not valid. Dal has been mentioned as 1/2 cup and three vegetables (1/2 cup each) ..
