Killi potta sambar is a very simple and quick sambar that can be made within minutes. Killi potta sambar means you just add redchillies and make sambar. My mom makes this sambar very often and serves with potato roast, this combo just tastes heavenly. The best part of this sambar is, it does not need lot of ingredients but still tastes great. We do not use sambar powder for this sambar, but it gets its taste from the dry red chillies and the green chillies.  Do try out this delicious Milagai Killi Potta Sambar and post your comments here.

    1. Hi Priyanka
      Thanks for contacting, I have regular 200 ml azhakku, if you have only 250 ml cup you can use that as well.
      Water also for dal 1:3 ratio is perfect which ever cup using for dal, use the same for water.
