Kathamba Sambar is a tasty and delicious Sambar with the flavour of many vegetables. It is made using freshly ground spices. This type of Sambar is usually made when we have more guests at home during any festive season or in marriages. Since Sambar itself has more vegetables, either Potato chips or Pappads are enough as side dish....
