The main uniqueness of Udipi Sambar(Udupi Sambar) is the sweetness. Udupi type sambar is mostly similar to our Tamilnadu Sambar but with the extra flavor of jaggery. Once I went to Udupi Krishnar temple and during the bojan time, they served this delicious sambar. This sambar goes well with rice, dosa and also for other South Indian Breakfast.
