Ingredients For Unique Sambar Recipe

Methods
  • 1. Before we begin making sambar, it always helps to soak tamarind in water earlier. so soak 1 tablespoon tamarind in â…“ cup hot water for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • 2. Once the tamarind gets soft, then squeeze the tamarind in the water itself. discard the strained tamarind and keep the tamarind pulp aside
  • 3. Rinse ½ cup tuvar dal (100 grams) a couple of times in water.
  • 4. Drain all the water and add the dal in a 2 litre pressure cooker. also add ÂĽ teaspoon turmeric powder.
  • 5. Add 1.5 to 1.75 cups of water and mix.
  • 6. Cover and pressure cook dal for 7 to 8 whistles or 10 to 12 minutes on medium flame.
  • 7. When the pressure settles down on its own, open the lid and check the dal. the dal should be completely cooked and mushy. mash the dal with a spoon or wired whisk. cover and keep aside. you can see the consistency of dal in the picture below.
  • 8. When the dal is pressure cooking – rinse, peel and chop the vegetables. when making sambar, chop the vegetables which get cooked faster in large sizes.
  • 9. Take 1 to 1.5 cups chopped vegetables in a pan or pot.
  • 10. Sprinkle ÂĽ teaspoon turmeric powder, ÂĽ teaspoon kashmiri red chilli powder and salt as per taste. Adding kashmiri red chili powder is optional and can be skipped. i add it for a nice bright color in the sambhar.
  • 11. Add 1.5 to 2 cups water and stir. add enough water so that they cover the vegetables.
  • 12. Cook till the vegetables are almost done. ensure that you don’t overcook the vegetables.
  • 13. Then add the tamarind pulp next add 1 to 1.5 tablespoons sambar powder.
  • 14. Stir and mix well again.add the mashed dal.
  • 15. Mix very well. if the consistency looks very thick, you can add some water. you can easily adjust the quantity of water and make medium to thin consistency of sambhar.
  • 16. Simmer on a medium-low flame till it comes to a boil. Stir at intervals. you will see a frothy layer on top when the sambar begins boiling. at this step switch off the flame. cover and keep aside. check the taste and add salt if required.
  • 17. In a small pan or tadka pan give a tadka to Sambar.
  • 18. Serve sambar hot.
