This Arachuvitta sambar recipe / Arachu vitta sambar recipe is specially prepared on all festive occasions, especially I prepare it mainly on the day of Tamil New year, along with rasam, potato curry, mango pachadi, medhu vada, sago payasam, neer mor etc as a spread. As we use freshly grounded masala, the name derives. If you don’t have sambar powder in hand also, you can opt for this sambar. The aroma of the freshly grounded masala cannot be explained in words, it’s divine. Not only with rice, it goes well with idli and dosa too….

Tips for Arachuvitta Sambar Recipe

1. Veggies choice is purely optional. Veggies like drumstick, radish, chow – chow, beans, capsicum, brinjal, yellow pumpkin etc can also be used.
2. If using okra / lady’s finger, saute it separately and then add it to the arachu vitta sambar recipe.
3. Use shallots / pearl onions only for a good taste, but regular onion can also be used.
4. Don’t burn the ingredients when roasting, else the sambar tastes bitter and smells bad.
5. Always grind the roasted ingredients little coarsely only, for a nice texture.
6. Don’t add the tamarind water before veggies are cooked.
7. If preferred 1/2 tsp of jaggery can be added atlast, which enhances the taste of the arachuvitta sambar recipe.
8. Use ghee or sesame oil only for tempering which lends an excellent aroma to the sambar.
9. Tempering at last, helps to retain the flavour for a long time. But it can be done first and followed by other steps.
10. This sambar thickens with time, so adjust water accordingly before serving.
