Moolangi Sambhar Sambhar can be made with different vegetables added to the dal. Here we have used radish or mooli or moolangi which adds its distinct flavour to the dish. A little bit of jaggery is added to balance the slight bitter taste of the radish. All in all a very flavourful sambhar that can be enjoyed with steamed rice.
