[@nutan1984]

I agree to what mam said... I am a big fan of your recipes, dear Chef... Tried so many of them and they turned out too good. You are not only a chef but a bundle of joy too. You actually make cooking happy ... Keep it up...

[@mohabatkhanmalak1161]

I got introduced to Sambar while I was in Dubai and I love it especially with Idli. South Indian cuisine is wonderful, they really know how to use spices. Thumbs up!!

[@nickydas8122]

Chef, I am a Bengali but absolutely love Sambar and hold my greed for my South Indian friends to invite me. I happened to see your recipe and exactly followed your ingredients (minus coconut and imlee due to health reasons). Frankly, it's one of the best. After this I will include this in my menu when I invite my South Indian friends and just watch their reaction. Thank you, you are absolutely fantastic!!!

[@jaybhartipatel6665]

I enjoyed your coconut chutney and sambar. Perfect recipe. Thank you.

[@janmejayapanda7348]

I was surfing for receipes when i met vahchef and how lucky i consider myself! Really Mr sanjay thuma has become my Guru like of thousand others.learning how to generate taste with the same ingaridents ,investing same time and energy.tasty food gives a good mood for my day, good time for my family.Not striving for resturant foo now.

[@deepak4yt]

[@bintapatel8944]

this guy is superb. i saw many videos but no other chef cook with a big smile on face. i just like the way you cooking. i like your style of explaining the recipes

[@zeuspunz]

After going abroad for studies without any cooking experience, you have taught me the in's and out's of cooking. Now I am good enough cook and have taught your recipes to my wife too, who learned cooking from me (indirectly from you). Your enthusiasm really rubs off on me.

[@creedence111]

Sanjay is the greatest. You really have to appreciate how he brings the nuances of Indian cuisine to the forefront...he is absolutely right - you cannot eat rice and sambhar with a spoon...it's sacrilege!

[@sudhaiocl]

My husband first time like the sambar with this recipe Thanks you so much for great recipe. Look forward to see more in future.

[@vahrehvah]

Now you have basic recipe ,make changes to suit to your taste buds, for idli and dosa they add jaggery, for rice skip jaggery, and the quantities of masala you add and the thickness you make ,will determine with what it goes best , sambhar is one of the toughest dishes and very personal -all the best

[@Fahd_Khan]

Wow... Excellent 👌

[@seraj01]

Sir, that was a incredible show!! Your final hand touch was fantastic!! Wow!!

[@sanjaymata]

hail vah chef. i loved the missing ingredient. very very very very good. I can see how much u love cooking. fabulous job.

[@kiwianto]

love ur way of cooking..............enjoyed by making sambhar

[@hoitonair]

Amazing recipe, tastes like heaven. Quick question: did you use all the masala you made in the blender? I used only like 2 tablespoons, and stored the rest in the freezer. Also, how long do you think the masala would last frozen? Thank you!!

[@gappbaaz]

This is a very good recipe and is a hit among even our South Indian friends. We are from UP and did not know how to make sambar and learned from this recipe. There may be other recipes and we all know that the recipe differs at each household. I personally do not think any recipe is carved on stone. I think any recipe is just a guideline. Each person can impart their ideas to it and make it to their liking. Kudos to you chef for this recipe and keep them coming. Love your reaction at the end !

[@minjonparappilly]

You made my mouth watery Ihave to cook sambar soon.Thank you.Take care.

[@anithaanil1489]

i like u the way of cooking wow amazing....

[@nazeerosee]
