We decided to have idli and sambhar which is steamed rice dumpling with hot lentil sauce. |
Wearing his traditional yarmulke and mixing sambhar with a piece of idli, he said he liked spicy Indian food. |
There is rice and sambhar every day, but different vegetables are used over the week and there are regular supplements. |
A plate of mini idlis consists of 10 lemon-sized idlis in steaming sambhar, screaming to be rescued and relished with a drop of ghee. |
At lunchtime we halt near a small waterfall, and with enough wood lying around we soon have spicy sambhar to go with boiled rice. |
The dense forests contain sambhar, the muntjac and herds of chital. |
