Sambar is a traditional South Indian stew that goes well with idli, dosa, steamed rice or can be served as a soup. Any South Indian meal, be it breakfast, lunch or dinner, would be considered incomplete without Sambhar or one of its variants. Sambar, a hot and spicy lentil soup with mixed vegetables, is a must have accompaniment for popular South Indian breakfast and lunch recipes like Idli, Dosa, Medu Vada, Steamed Rice etc. A few years back Sambar used to be defined as South Indian delicacy, confined only to the Southern states of India.
Steps to make Sambar:
- Cook daal in the pressure cooker. (I've written half cup but what I use is 2 handfuls)
- Chop vegetables into cubes (except drumstick & lady's finger which can be cut into finger length) You can use whatever vegetables you like from the list but I would suggest you definitely use onions. potatoes tomatoes and drumstick. All the others I put in as optional depending who I am cooking for.
- Add the chopped veggies into the daal (except the tomatoes). Add salt, red chilli powder, hing, haldi, sambar powder and pressure cook for ONLY ONE WHISTLE. (If required add a little water to cook.)
- Open the cooker, light the gas and add the cubed tomatoes. If the curry looks watery you can puree half a tomato and add it at this point. Let it simmer. Check salt and add more if required.
- In a small pan heat some oil and put mustard, curry leaves, and red chillies and add to the sambar. Garnish with chopped corriander.
- Note: I use whatever Sambar powder has taken my fancy when I go shopping but these would vary between Shakti, Eastern or Brahmins. Brahmins Sambar powder is good but really spicy I would suggest you skip the chilly powder for this.
- … cont'd: If needed you can add a little more sambar powder when you add the tomatoes. It helps to mix it with water and add.
- Serve with hot rice, Idli or Dosa
