Capsicum Sambhar

My Observations:

The more the sambhar boils,the yummier is the taste and flavour.

You can add chilly powder instead of red chilly.

You can add tamarind extract and let it boil after adding mashed dhals.

Adjust the level sambhar powder according to your spice level.

I like it when it is slightly thicker than usual sambhar.
