I remember those good old days when i used to ask mom to buy me some delicious Masala Vadas from the street vendor around the corner of our street. I was shy and never used to go by myself, so my mom quickly dart to the vendor, buy some and hand it to me with great pride. I used to crave for these Masala Vadas during rainy season. Well, today was that perfect rainy day, so i am going to share this recipe with you all. Basically Masala Vadas originate from Udupi in Karnataka.

A Staple food of South India, Sambar is eaten with plain boiled rice, idli's, vada's, dosa's and also with most of the other breakfast dishes. One can say a South Indian dish is not complete without Sambar. This is my mom's recipe, she makes this for breakfast or lunch . This sambar is made with yellow cucumber (Dosakaya or Budamakaya).But u can also make this with other vegetables like Shallots, Drumstick, egg plant (Brinjal). Main thing which makes the sambar smell so pleasant is the freshly ground sambar powder. I miss those days back in India when my mom used to cook sambar n i used to eat lot more than expected.
