Notes

  • Tempering at the last stage always retains the flavor.
  • Take care not to much the mango, keep an eye while it gets cooked.
  • Tamarind used should be very less for this sambar as mango itself is very tangy.
  • Smells and tastes good for 2 days if refrigerated. But heat it once in between cool down and then refrigerate.
  • Switch off according to the thick consistency you prefer. But it thickens with time so switch off accordingly.
