Today night I planned to make idlies and chutney, but I opted for sambar for a change. This reminded me of my mother’s idly sambar which was all favorite of my friends and left me with nothing in the box .Here goes the recipe of this dish.
All you need is:
- Thur dhall
- Onions-2 large numbers
- Tomato-3 large numbers
- Turmeric powder-2tsp
- Asafetida-I tsp
- Jaggery -1tsp
- Tamarind paste-1tsp
To be dry roasted and powdered
- Red chili-6 nos
- Coriander seeds-2tsp
- Chana dhal -1tsp
- Aniseed -1/2 tsp
- Raw rice-1tsp
Method
- Dry roast the up given materials in a kadai and powder it.
- Heat oil in a pressure pan; season it with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and fenugreek seeds.
- Add the cut onions and tomatoes and fry till tomato gets mashed completely.
- Add thur dhall, turmeric powder, tamarind paste,salt and water and allow it to cook till the dhall softens.
- After the dhal is cooked add jaggery and the powdered masala ;allow this mixture to boil till the raw smell evaporates.
