Drumstick with Mango Sambar

Sambar is a popular south indian recipe  made with yellow lentil called toor dal and any vegetable. You can include vegetables like potato, brinjal, drumsticks, raddish, carrot, chow chow, turnips etc. My first choice is always drumstick with mango for sambar that gives you more flavour and tastes more than the other vegetables and also i prefer shallots to prepare this that gives an extra taste to sambar.
