Dal is the most important dish of SAMBAR as it is the basis and rest of them are

mere flavors. Hence cooking and mashing Dal plays a very important for enjoying

the whole experience of having Sambar. For best dish @ end,

Take 500gm of Dal, wash it a couple of times

Add 2 times of Water for Dal roughly 1 Litre of water

Add 4-5 table spoons of Sambar Powder

Add 1 table spoon of Haldi

Stir it properly and boil on a pressure cooker

Allow 6-8 whistles for better cooking of Dal and easier Mash process

Wait for 20-25 minutes for letting out the steam

Tanginess is one of the characteristic taste of Sambar for which people love it. This

sour taste can be better imbibed into Sambar by below preparation:

Clean the 50 gm tamarind taken (Take out Seeds)

Add the sliced tomatoes to the tamarind

Add 3 glasses (1 Glass - 250 ml) of water to it

Grind all of them together till it becomes a thick juice

Filter the same by taking out the bigger particles and unwanted stuff

Boil this juice for about 10-12 minutes and leave it aside for mixing when needed

Drum Sticks take longer time to get boiled / cooked. In order to ensure easier

mixing of the drum stick flavor into Sambar taste,

Cut Drum Sticks into pieces of roughly 2 3 inch size

Boil 2 glasses (1 Glass - 250 ml) of water and then add drum sticks to it

Boil the same for further 5-7 minutes on high flame

Leave the same till required in final preparation

Do not take out this water as the flavor of drum sticks is required to be added

Sambar is not as thick as normal Dal and hence necessary treatment has to be done

for the same to ensure proper/equal concentration of Dal. For the same,

Take the Dal (After Steam out)

Mash the Dal with the serving spoon properly

Add the Drum stick juice (along with drum sticks) to the mashed dal

Now keep the mixture on low flame, heat it

This mixture gets heated and the same time gets mixed properly Stir once every 3-4 minutes where you make Tadka on the other side

This will be on a light heated mode till Tadka is done and both are mixed

For sizzling Tadka, fry the items in

below order:

Oil Cumin Seeds

Mustard Seed

Heengh

Garlic pieces

Green Chilli

Coconut grated power

Please add items one by one with

an interval of 15 Sec each till

Garlic, and then add rest of the

items with an interval of 30 Sec

Sour Soup taken earlier is boiled only for some time, for magnification of Tadka and

sour soup taste mix,

Pour the Sour Soup into Hot Sizzling Tadka

Add Red Chilli powder as desired here

Let it boil for roughly 5 minutes where the flavors get mixed properly

Lets proceed for mixing the entire stuff now

We now have 2 components only to mix

Mash Dal + Drum Stick juice (Mixture A)

Sizzling Tadka + Sour Soup (Mixture B)

Pour 5-6 serving spoons of boiling mixture A into boiling mixture B

Allow Mixture B to boil for couple of minutes again, stir it slowly through out

Now add the rest of mixture A into mixture B

We have SAMBAR Solution ready (Not complete yetPatience please )

Add Salt as desiredStir and Checkthe taste Chak ke dekhiye

Saltiness is generally less when Sambar is hot/being cooked, hence please

take care Else it will be very salty after 2-3 hours

BOIL (Medium Flame) for 10-15 minutes further Stir all along slowly
