I came across your blog via google.Your blog is very nice.I love tamil sambhar.I used to eat in restaurants.Basically i am from Andhra.So i don't know how to make tamil sambhar.I will defintiely try your recipe and let you know.
I have one suggestion.You have mentioned 1/2 cup toor dal.if you specify the type of cup you are using(rice cup etc),that would be great
