Moong dal Sambar
Sambar made with moong dal is one of the best tiffin sambar. It goes well with idli, dosa, pongal and even tastes good with rice. Moong dal have high nutritional value and easy to digest. In my region, there's a specific hotel where people buy idlies for babies, and this is mainly because of the deliciousness of this sambar.
