Instructions
1
Take toor dal in the pressure cooker, add two cups of water and cook for 3-4
whistles.
2
When the pressure goes off, smash the dal to make a fine paste and keep it
aside.
3
Heat oil in the vessel, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds when splutters add garlic
and hing. Usually we will make seasoning after preparing sambar. Here I am
performing this step at the starting itself, because I like the veggies cooked
in oil rather than cooking separately with water.
4
When the garlic is fried, add chopped onions. Onions should be chopped as cubes
or you can directly use small onions by just peeling of the skin.
5
After 2mins, add tomatoes and cook till tomatoes are half cooked.
6
Add brinjal and fry for 2-3 mins. Here I am using only brinjal. If you want you
can also add carrots along with brinjal or vegetables of your choice like
drumstick or ladies finger or radish.
7
Now add turmeric, chilli powder and salt and mix well. Close the lid and cook on
the medium flame till the brinjal is cooked completely. Do not over cook the
brinjal as it smashes off.
8
Meanwhile soak the lemon size tamarind in water for 5 to 10 mins.
9
Add the smashed dal to the cooked veggies.
10
Squeeze the tamarind and add the tamarind juice to the dal.
11
Mix well with out smashing the vegetables and add sambar powder. You can use
homemade sambar powder or readily available in the market. I prefer home made
sambar powder.
12
Boil the sambar. Adjust the salt as per your taste. Add coriander leaves.
13
Boil sambar for 3-4 minutes.
14
Sambar is ready. Serve hot with white rice or Idly or dosa or vada.
