   Idly sambar Andhra Break fast... It tasty and delicious morning break fast... If the Rava Idli isn’t flavorful enough, try your idlis doused in sambar, a spicy red stew of tomatoes, dal, onions, and whatever else the kitchen has lying around. Sambar Idly is a speciality of South Indian Cuisine. It is one of the famous healthy breakfast recipe that is loved by people all over country & abroad. 

   This recipe requires to make a lot of Sambar, as we need more sambar to soak the idlies in..! And also prepare "Mini Idlie's" tastes great & the kids will just love them. Not only in Andhra, in Tamilnadu also it's very famous. When I went to chenni we eat Samabar Idly  I love it so much... Though there are still several Karnataka dishes that I would like to try out and post, this time, I am sticking to a popular dish from Tamilnadu. Hotel Saravana Bhavan is a famous for its 14 idli. This is nothing but 14 tiny idlis dunked in sambar. And this combination is filter coffee mmmhhh!!!! I loved it so much... something people can't stop talking about once they have tasted it. A saucepan shaped (and sized) container full of their signature sambar in which the idlis soak until you dig into them - is it any wonder people keep going back for more of it?

    Today, I have for you, my version of this popular restaurant dish. Idli-Vada-Sambhar…who doesn’t enjoy this heavenly combo for breakfast? I can eat them anytime of day, anytime of year. When it comes to breakfast, this is my perfect idea of comfort food. And its healthy too (sans the vada of course!). In Andhra its very special, in restaurants, hotels it very famous in Andhra also...
