Tips and Suggestions by Mom Chef:-

• If you want, you can use other veggies such as pumpkin, radish/mooli, and drumsticks instead of ladyfinger. Or you can make mix veg sambar.
• You can adjust the tanginess according to your taste by adjusting the quantity of tamarind puree. To make the puree, soak the tamarind in water for some time and then squeeze it to remove the pulp. Use this puree to make a sambar.
