PROCESS:---
1️⃣ Wash 1cup of channa Dal properly. Then take a pressure cooker, add 3 cups of water and all the chopped vegetables except onion , garlic and tomatoes.
2️⃣Also add 1tablespoon of turmeric
Powder and salt according to taste. Close the lid and cook the Dal and vegetables for 3-4 whistles on medium flame.
3️⃣ Also you can add your favourite vegetables in sambar I have added what I like . You can go with ladyfingers , broccoli, cauliflower and others.
4️⃣ While we prepare masala for this sambar , soak 1/4th cup of tamarind in little water. If you don't have tamarind you can replace it with 2 tablespoon dried mango powder. In that case obviously we don't need to soak it.
5️⃣ After the vegetables are cooked for 4 whistles in the pressure cooker.
Heat a kadhai with 2 tablespoon of oil in it , when it gets smoking hot , add 1dried red chilli , 1 tablespoon of mustard seeds, ginger juliens and handfull of curry leaves.
6️⃣Fry them for 2-3 seconds then add thinly sliced onions and fry them on medium flame until they get transparent. It will take 8-10 minutes , then add chopped tomatoes and fry them until they start leaving oil. This process will take 8-10 minutes.
7️⃣After that add 1 tablespoon of red chilli powder fry them for 2-3 minutes. Next step is to add thee cooked Dal with vegetables to the kadhai , give it a nice mix and them boil.
8️⃣ When it starts boiling add 7-8 tablespoons of sambar masala. I have used "Everest"sambar masala , you can use any of your choice. Also at this stage add the tamarind water to the sambar.
9️⃣If you don't have tamarind them you can add 2 tablespoons of dried mango powder.Give it a nice mix and boil until you get the desired consistency.
Switch off the flame and let it rest for 10-15 minutes so that it can leave all its flavour.
And here your sambar is ready . Garnish it with some grated coconut. You can have it with rice, idli, dosa , utpam ,roti and much more.
