[sanjaymata]

I like the way you explain and specially the way you taste the food, Gr8 work keep it up.

[hellobhure]

Thanks a lot....today I prepared sambhar as you showed in video. Belive me I don't have word to express how tasty it was. Nobdoy can demo like you.

[plantneem4gud]

@vahchef bro...you deserve a BACHELOR RATNA award! donno if u r a bachelor urself..but u give confidence to many bachelors that it is NOT important to MARRY to eat tasty home-cooked food!

[seethaM1000]

u r realy enjoying cooking.

[snadar1]

You wouldn't know good sambhar if it bit you in the ass!

[vasuvasu27]

My mouth is watering!! ummmmmmmmmmmahhhhhmmmmm !!! ;-)

[sreeradhamulugu]

superosuper. i loved it...........



[gajinnijeya]

Really excellent your saambar all the best chef

[ainabathula]

I love vah reh vah

[sudhaiocl]

My husband first time like the sambar with this recipe Thanks you so much for great recipe. Look forward to see more in future.

[shabaan11]

Love your channel, but what is 'hind' powder? The small white bottle? Thanks again.

[1504able]

@shabaan11 Its Asafoetida, a powder which gives nice flavor and helps fight acidity .

[shabaan11]

@1504able, Thank you.:) 

[shafazu]

@shabaan11 asfotida pwdr, hing pwdr or perungayam pwdr u can ask from indian store

[ZiggleFingers]

@shabaan11 hing powder. See Asafoetida on wikipedia

[renvik100]

thnx to learn sambhar recipe from scracth.

[203prasad]

gud! chef buh too watery i gues .. thnk u

[jananisiv]

i lov d way u taste itt...

[age29priyavijay]

I felt that the Sambar is too watery. If it's too watery, t

hen it will become Rasam.

[plantneem4gud]

@age29priyavijay RASAM? do you even know what RASAM is?

[BeenaaM2226]

hmmm never knew using coconut milk and garam masala in sambar....i dont think am ever going to use them....

[greenranger8100]

I usually like Vahchef, but I am extremely displeased with this recipe. To me, the best sambar is the authentic south Kerala sambar with NO COCONUT anything and no garam masala spices, i.e. no cinnamon or cloves. And NO SUGAR. Yuck. Sambar is supposed to be tangy and tart.

[mamacitamidwife]

Is there a link to the recipe?

[jaybow1982]

@mamacitamidwife Just copy and paste the following address into your browser (without the spaces)

[mamacitamidwife]

Thank you kindly!

[funcgen]

Love it !!! the best recipe...

[xmenz123]

He is a very good teacher .He makes it simple and damn good, clear.Thank you

[saraswathir3]

ahah... really yumm eating with hand taste u read south india way of eating like it..

[saritajakhere]

He's so funny. I share the same passion for sambhar. Nothing like slow cooked sambhar made with home made masala. And yes, you have to eat it with your hands. :)

[123sanjita]

Can we use moong dal instead of tuvar dal for sambar?

[saritajakhere]

@123sanjita yes you can but it will taste very different.

[Mcggill]

I really learned and got inspired . a great cook , even greater host .. its a pleasure to watch you cook .. thanks to saumya my friend who sent me the link ... :)

[CHONDURAS]

thank goodness he said add a little hing, and ended up adding a lot!

[surupisilva]

Hey

I tried your sambar recipe and it was delicious.

[vsvraghavan]

we don't add garlic and ginger in Sambar. Sambar masala generally can be made earlier and stored. No need whole garam masala also. If you need we may add a fresh ground coriander red chilies and channa roasted and ground with coconut . This is only a suggestion.Curry leaves are essential.

[saritajakhere]

@vsvraghavan We don't add ginger, garlic or garam masala either. We add urad dal to the masala which I think he did not. His recipe is different and definitely worth a try.

[meetankaur]

cool!



[nazeerosee]

i love the way u demo.within just few minutes iv become a fan of urs..thank you very much :)

[Yesu2002]

Nice fresh ingredients used up,,,,,,,,,

[samriddhanand]

last thing on earth i would wish to do is to taste your authentic recipes...........not the experimental ones that famous chefs cook on tv......i like ur dishes and really respect u for cooking authentic dishes that keep our original india alive......

[shravanj85]

@samriddhanand your comment has a negative meaning

[sarojav]

I love your recipes. If you give measurements, especially to sambar masala, it would be a great help.

[sweetythebest]

LOLOLOL....... yes, totally agree.... sambar rice has to be eaten with hands

[hkandika]

wow...this dude is a brave hearted, i love this guy...u really showed us how to make finger licking sambar and i'm so glad u did that as well in the end...hats off! my gr8 chef

[kishudreams]

grind the masala powder and add to mixture separately dont grind them totally in mixture.

[Belasyed]

[sudysona]

[Belasyed]

[sushanalone]

Your very little is usually massive quantity.

[sheetalgahalyan]

too good..i tried ur recipe...sambhar masala idea was awesome..what to do with remaining masala...........

[sheetalgahalyan]

wow..i tried ur recipe..my sambhar was awesome...btw what to with extra sambhar masala that u made in the beginning...btw sambhar masala made at home was too good.

[plantneem4gud]

@sheetalgahalyan Store it for the next time. or u can make smaller quantities.or grind the tomato,ginger,garlic separately from the other DRY spices,paddy,moong dal,channa dal.

[aakritiwadhwani]

haha..he's so funny & cute.

[aakritiwadhwani]

haha..

[sandeepcoolguy4u]

Ya,there`s something missing chef,u didn`t add toor dal to the mixture,i did this,it is extraordinary,i have something to share for u,that is avakai pulihora.

[sonalsamson]

@sandeepcoolguy4u : Look at 6:44, he is adding dal :)

[pokakillath0anu]

whatever has happened to the mashed toor dal?? couldn't see you mixing that with the veggies mix. At what point , should it be mixed? By the way, you are a wonderful cook. I make perfect dosas these days , thanks to ur video

[colindanny81]

@pokakillath0anu he adds it at 6:45 :)

[ayeshasajid1]

gawwwdddd ur sooooooooo funny lol

[melissa38256]

wow..... really like a true chef you have painstakingly showed each and every ingredeint that goes in making SAMBHAR. THANK YOU

[TheVeenasa]

omg ! your very little..is so much...lol

[The100masters]

Haha... I love it! Dude this guy got orgasm when he ate it with hands :)

[Krithikaqq]

Dude,

You mess up many receipes with garlic which is not neessary.

[navneetkaur123]

hey chef can v use any other daal instead of toor daal??

[yanimaster]

thanks very much u r a such a great personality

[yashsharma911]

what a fool....... wow....

[ashwinvijayasai]

lol this guy makes a fool of himself.

His recepies are excellent.... grow up!!!!

[veena55555]

all your recipes are easy to ok for me to follow but too many ingredients went into this sambhar it might be just too spicy for a soupy dish ........ maybe its for a really big quantity, since u dont mention any quantities its a bit hard to figure how much u r giving the recipe for .......

[sherpriya]

How come most of the Indian recipies are from South India-from the idlies,to dosas,touppmas to uttappams to rasams,to vadas to pulidharais to sambar to murukkus to thattais to kuzhi panyiyarams etc etc.Braco South India.

[hihellohowrumfine]

haha what a chut!!

[hihellohowrumfine]

hahah what a chut!!!!

[creedence111]

Sanjay is the greatest. You really have to appreciate how he brings the nuances of Indian cuisine to the forefront...he is absolutely right - you cannot eat rice and sambhar with a spoon...it's sacrilege!

[kalvij]

great way of cooking and enjoying the food. However, proper measurements posted will be appreciated! Thank you.:-)

[Desi4evah]

little this and little that? how little is little? where are the measurements?

[sultana97]

[AleshiaABAX]

[mootqureshi]

hahahahaha......i lov the recipe.....

the way you show us.....shoooo cuteeeee

[nupurmk]

I loved the recipe .. but d problem is .. U use a lot of oil in the preparation and i tend to use as less as i can .. Can u suggest if it wud maintain the same taste in lesser oil also ???

[ArgoSG]

@nupurmk Nupurmk, obviously if you use less oil it will not be as rich. But still not that huge of a deal. Just adjust it to your preferences, there is no precise way to make sambar. Use less oil, then maybe add some coconut cream to make up for it, it's probably going to be a healthier fat than the oil being used. I always use that thick and rich coconut milk can from Thailand in my sambar for an awesome taste.

[nupurmk]

@ArgoSG

Hey Thanx fr replying...I tried the recipe and it was soo gud .. Thnx again. There was a slight problem, it was a bit sour . May b i cud not estimate the amount of Tamarind paste. I am in England and it seems vague to get fresh tamarind here , so i jus used the wet tamarind and made a paste with warm water, kept ot for 2 hrs. Would u plz suggest me if i cud do somthing else with it. .. to lessen this khatta taste. Anywaz, thnx again for replying , m so pleased...

[ArgoSG]

@nupurmk Hmm no problem for me, i love my sambhar SUPER sour :D. What I can tell you, is when cooking anything and controlling aspects like saltiness, sourness, sweetness, and spiciness: Start small. Don't add the whole thing what you plan in one shot. Add 1/3rd of what you plan. Cook. Taste. Add next 1/3rd of whatever you feel needs increasing. Cook longer. Taste again. Keep repeating this until you have perfect balance. It's hard to fix when you add too much, but easy to fix if too little.

[mehakaltaf]

love u sanjay u make me crazy with every dish u prepare ,,,,,,,,, and ,,,,,,,,,sambar chaiye to tini manasu dochukunnawu sanjay may god bless u and last but not least u made my married life color full with ur spices thanks alot gurujiiiiii

[arhifaith]

shall i tell u 1 thing,everything is good but u wont tell any mesurments,so what is the use of the programme,i dont know whether u check the coments or not,i had already given 1 coment before.no use because people like me who are new to cooking they cant do it.i saw other websites they are really good.only because of mesurments i will be so irritated.sorry if i hurt u.but plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz try to tell the mesurments

[ArgoSG]

@arhifaith Just eyeball it. Study proportions. Make an educated guess.The video quality is usually always very good, you can clearly see how much he gives. I made dozens of his recipes, and always comes out awesome. It's not as big of a deal as you make it. Just copy him, it will turn out fine, don't worry so much about that.

[alex33185]

oh my gosh... that was funny! It was entertaining and I'd watch another one of your recipes. I'd like to smell it.

[nicchong72]

I love this guy! He is so passionate about his food. He definitely should be syndicated on a food network.
