Capsicum Sambar Recipe | Kudamilagai Sambar with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my youtube channel. This capsicum sambar has a unique flavor, it tastes so good with hot steamed rice and with side dishes like Aloo Fry, Aloo Tuk, Aloo Gobi Fry, etc. Mostly I prepare sambar at least 2 to 3 times a week, so make use of all the veggies like carrot, beans, brinjal, okra, spinach sometimes with potato too. Whenever I buy capsicum I mostly finish it off to prepare Fried Rice, Hakka Noodles, Kadai Paneer, or Capsicum Paruppu Usili, so there will not be any leftovers, so this sambar happens in my home once in every 2 or 3 months. To make the sambar more vibrant, you can use yellow and red-colored capsicums too, kids in your home will love it a lot. I slightly adapted my Drumstick Sambar Recipe and used Homemade Sambar Powder, which lent a magical aroma to the dish, so friends do try, you will definitely love it.

Notes

Tips for Kudamilagai Sambar

1.  For easy cooking of dal, soak it in water for 30 minutes. Equal quantity toor dal and moong dal can also be used.
2. Onion can be replaced with shallots/small onion (10 nos) which adds more taste to the Kudamilagi Sambar.
3. I used green colored capsicum alone. For a colourful sambar, you can use red and yellow coloured capsicums too.
4. Use ghee or sesame oil for tempering which lends an excellent aroma to the Capsicum Sambar Recipe.
5. Use curry leaves and hing generously in seasoning for more aroma.
6. Sambar powder can be replaced with 2 tsp of chilli and coriander powder.
7. Always add tamarind juice only after the capsicum is cooked. It can be replaced with 2 tsp of readymade tamarind paste too.
8. The shelf life of this sambar is 3 days under refrigeration. Also, it tastes better the next day.
