- 3 cups water
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- 1 small carrot, chopped
- 1 small potato, chopped
- 10-12 green beans, chopped
- 1 small drumstick, chopped (optional)
- 1 tbsp sambar powder
- 1 tsp red chili powder (optional)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 2-3 dry red chilies
- 1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)
- Salt to taste
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp tamarind paste
For tempering (optional):
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
- 2-3 dry red chilies
- A few curry leaves
Instructions:
1. Wash the toor dal and add it to a pressure cooker along with 3 cups of water, turmeric powder, and 1 tbsp oil. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft and mushy.
2. Meanwhile, chop all the vegetables and keep them ready.
3. Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dry red chilies, and asafoetida. Once the seeds start to splutter, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
4. Add the chopped vegetables, sambar powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are partially cooked.
5. Add the cooked toor dal to the pan and mix well. Add enough water to get the desired consistency and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Add the tamarind paste and mix well. Simmer the sambar for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are fully cooked and the flavors are well combined.
7. For tempering, heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, dry red chilies, and curry leaves. Once the seeds start to splutter, add the tempering to the sambar and mix well.
8. Serve hot with steamed rice, idli, or dosa.
Enjoy your delicious South Indian Sambar!
