Kadama sambar recipe with step by step photos. Sharing a very very tasty and healthy sambar recipe with you all today.
Kadamba sambar is a typical Tambram style sambar recipe served in weddings.Kadamba sambar also makes its appearance in music saba canteens. Kadamba sambar is a colorful and healthy sambar made with a truck load of veggies and fresh sambar masala. Usually in tambram weddings veggies like carrot, capsicum, brinjal and pumpkin are added. Drumstick, onions are not added in wedding feast but when I made at home I added both.
To make kadamba sambar recipe I have used small onions, pumpkin, tomato, carrot, bell pepper and drumstick. If you do not have one or two veggies in the above list it is fine. The taste and flavor of this kadamba sambar comes from the fresh sambar masala. I have added coconut in the masala and it is optional.
Serve kadambar sambar piping hot with ghee, steamed rice and any roasted veggie like potato, okra or raw banana.
