This sambar was a huge disappointment. It was bland and watery, and it didn't have any of the flavor I was expecting.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sambar turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I found this recipe to be a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by reducing the amount of chili powder. Overall, it was a good recipe and I would recommend it to others.
