    Telangana is famous for sambar,andhra is unique for its pappu charu (a milder version of sambar) which is eaten with rice.This recipe is very similar to the pappu charu made in my family -

    I have also tried pappu charu from cooking with pedatha book,both are equally good.

    2. In a deep vessel, heat 1 teaspoon of ghee for tempering. Pop the mustard seeds. Then add the fenugreek seeds. Lower the flame to avoid burning.

    4. Mash the tomatoes with a ladle and add the cooked gram. Allow to boil for 5 minutes.

    6. Finally, pour in the remaining ghee.

    2. Heat the oil and roast the dry red chillies until crisp. Remove and then add curry leaves and let it crisp up. Remove from oil and set aside.
    3. In the same oil, roast the asafoetida for 10-15 seconds. Saute to let it cook completely.
    4. Heat the fhee and roast the peppercorns until the aroma arises. Remove from ghee and set aside.
    5. Grind them all together to a fine powder.

    Peanut karam podi

    Dry roast peanuts on a medium flame,keep aside.Roast some red dried chillies in little oil till the colour changes slightly.Grind the roasted chillies,with few pods of garlic and keep aside.Coarsely grind peanuts and mix with the powdered chilli-garlic,add salt and mix,adjust salt as needed.Here is a similar version made by Ragini (Mrs vahchef)


    If you are looking for a sambar to go with idli/dosa, try this - It is too good.

    Looking at this restaurant Dosa pic, reminds me of my son.

    After eating at restaurants, my son claims that my dosa didn't meet the standard.

    For Idly / dosa, I make sambhar or masala or one variety of chutney, coconut, coriander, tomato only.
    He wants to be served just like in restaurant with complete set of side dishes.
