Kalyana Sambar | Traditional wedding style sambar, the recipe i wanted to post for a long time. After attending a wedding and a family function in India last month, i wanted to make this post soon. The Sambar which they make in our style weddings are always awesome. They generally put lot of veggies in the sambar and the hot rice, smeared with ghee along with this yummy sambar, paired with urulai kizhangu curry and appalam…, wow nothing can beat the taste. Without boring you all much, let me go on to the recipe of Kalyana sambar.

Note:
- The sambar will be thick after getting cooled, so add water after adding toor dal and ground paste.
- You can temper with 1 green chili to get the aroma of green chili in sambar.
- Generally on the day of wedding in the food, onions are not added.. But if you wish you can add small onions after adding mustard seeds.

HI jeyashri,

Sooperb taste.just tasted like hotel sambar
Don’t we have to roast the coconut before grinding or just raw coconut is fine?
No need to roast the coconut. Add it raw, it will be nice.
You mentioned ground paste. What it is mam?
The one we roasted we will grind into a fine paste. then add to the sambar along with the cooked dal.
