1. Instead of cooking the drumstick separately and adding to the sambar, you can also cook it in tamarind water directly. Just add raw drumstick to the oil, add tamarind water and wait till drumstick turns tender, Then proceed. Takes a bit longer but the flavor s better.
2. Use sesame oil for a nice flavor in the sambar.
3. Feel free to use store bought sambar powder to make this sambar. Or you can use my sambar powder recipe. For the recipe, click on sambar powder mentioned under ingredients.
