Masoor Dal Sambar Bath

I never get bored of making one pot meal, actually one pot meal makes the life easier and you can happily feed your family without any hassle.I have already shared many varieties of one pot meal but still they are so many varieties of one pot meal to share. One of my recent trial with masoor dal was this irresistible sambar bath. Sambar is a routine dal based gravy at home, we either make sambar with toor dal or moong dal else with a combination of both dals. I cook very rarely with masoor dal,dunno why i never been attracted by this dal. Recently my H went for Indian grocery and picked a packet of masoordal instead of toor dal, obviously i have to finish the packet of masoordal. Hence i tried my hands with masoor dal sambar bath.

Masoordal Bisibele Bath

Am running my second week of blogging marathon with Lentils in three way as this week's theme, am kick starting this week's blogging marathon with this healthy and protein rich nutritious sambar bath. You can carry very well this lipsmacking one pot meal in your lunch box. Served along with a spicy side dish, one can have a super filling and satisfying meal. I packed this sambar bath for our lunch along with fried eggs, even my younger one who is not a big fan of this kind of dal based one pot meal loved this vegetable loaded sambar bath.
