• If making this for chappati ,you can add g & g paste and redchilli,coriander pwdr ,little garam masala in place of sambar powder.
• My samabar powder is little spicy so i used less , if you want more spicyness add in redchilli too..
• The sambar should have tamrind in it ,but this taste good with out tamrind,so go ahead ...
