When you are tired of the daily Sambhar , this delectable Kolumbu will lend a special touch to your breakfast!

Packed with the power of spices and dals, this tasty, veggie-loaded accompaniment is also quite satiating. While it goes great with Idli and Plain Dosa you can also enjoy it with other South Indian recipes like Upma and Pongal, a steaming hot bowl of rice or a sumptuous Khichdi.

You can replace tomatoes with 2 tbsp of tamarind if you would like your Kolumbu slightly more tart. Using tamarind also accentuates the aroma and flavour of the spices better.

Kolumbu, a delicious curry with loads of vegetables. Goes very well with hot steaming rice. The flavour of the spice is really too good. I have loved this recipe.

Lovely tovar dal cooked in vegetables to form a nice spicy curry to go with steamed rice.
