Sambar Idli Recipe
Sambar Idli is one of the most comforting South Indian tiffin that many of us enjoy very often. It is made by soaking soft idlis in hot sambar till they turn warm, flavorful, and dunked in sambar in the best possible way. This dish is common in restaurants, but making it at home feels more fresh and kind of simple.

Ingredients
Instructions
- Take a ladle full and add it to the idly pan and steam it for 10-12 minutes.
- Sprinkle little water and carefully slide around the edges using a spoon to take the idlis. Now idlis are ready.
- Sambar should be hot now get ready with all other ingredients.
- Take 2 idlis in a plate.
- Pour sambar over it. Pour till the idlis are fully covered with sambar.
- Drizzle ghee.
- Now sprinkle chopped raw onion and coriander leaves.
- Serve Sambar Idli hot!
Notes
- Hot sambar – I usually keep the sambar hot so the idlis absorbs it more faster and taste better.
- Choose porous idlis – I mostly prefer idlis that have small holes because they take in the sambar well. Very smooth idlis won’t absorb much.
- Topping – I usually add raw onions and coriander just before serving so the crunch staying fresh.
- Consistency – I have seen that a slightly flowing sambar spreads well over the idlis and coating each piece nicely.
- Ghee – I usually drizzle ghee at last since it gives good aroma and blends nicely with the warm sambar.
