MAMBAZHA SAMBAR (RIPE MANGO SAMBAR)



Mambazha sambar is one of my favourite.  During mango season, almost every day, we make mambazha pachadi, rasakalan, sambar with only mango or with some veggies like white pumpkin, colacasia (chembu), drumstick (muringakai).  It tastes good with rice, kichadi, chapati, idli and dosa  too. 

 Now the mango season is getting over so be quick to relish this tasty dish.  

In our house mangoes and jackfruits are available plenty so during the season, we really enjoy making various dishes out of these two main ingredients.
