Sambar is a south Indian dish. It is rich in protein and also other nutrients such as vitamins and minarals as its made from Dal and vegetables.

Preparation of Sambar

Ingredients:

  • Toor Dal
  • Tomatoes
  • Tamarind
  • Mustard Seeds
  • Jeera
  • Garlic
  • Turmeric Powder
  • Curry Leaves
  • Onions
  • Salt
  • Red Chillies
  • Asafoetida (Inguva)
  • Homemade Sambar Powder (or) 777 Sambar Powder
  • Vegetables
In a pan, add oil, and the following indredients one at a time: mustard seeds, jeera, curry leaves, red chills, smashed garlic and onions. Fry it until the onions become golden-brown in colour. Now, add inguva and fry it.
Next, add vegetables (drumsticks, bringal and radish). Fry it for 5 minutes, add water, and boil it for 10 minutes.

Note: Depending on the vegetables  used, the sambar will taste different. Personally, I prefer using just drumsticks or a combination of drumsticks, bringal, and radish.

Take a pressure cooker, add toor dal, 2 tomatoes and water, and close the cooker. After 3 to 4 whistles, switch off the gas and put it aside.
Open the cooker lid and mix it very well. Then, add tamarind water and turmeric powder, and put it aside.
After boiling the vegetables, add the Dal and the tamarind mix.
Now, add some water, Sambar powder, salt and coriander. If you want it to be more spicy, add red chilli powder too. Cook it for 10 to 15 minutes.
Now, your Sambar is ready to serve with rice, idly or dosa!
