Arachuvitta Samabar
It was a winter morning in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. We were newlyweds. He called me from work asking if it was okay to bring a friend home for lunch. I had never cooked an Indian meal before but said “Sure!” Quickly I ran to my suitcase and pulled out my special red recipe book, tied with a nice burlap bow. A book I had put together with all the cool South Indian recipes my mom made. A “Sail through your Marriage” collection.So, arachu vitta sambar is what came to my mind. It is full of lentils, proteins to fill the stomach with.Look, I made arachu vitta sambar from scratch!And of course, I had an amazing lunch with my guests!
