Sambar - traditional method
 Preparing a sambar from the scratch is not an interesting idea these days. The number of sambar powder brands stands testimony to it. However I like to have the traditional recipe once in a while especially with idlis. The recipe follows?.. Ingredients Dal ? ¼ cup Green chilly ? 1 Condiments to be fried, powdered and ground to a paste Oil ? 1 tbsp Fenugreek seeds ? ¼ tsp Curry leaves ? 1 sprig Coriander seeds ? 2 tbsp Red chilly, dried ? 7 ? 9 Coconut, grated ? 1/4 parts Vegetables, cubed (whatever is available or as per need) Drumstick ? 2 Potato ? 1 Carrot ? 1 Pumpkin ? 6 ? 8 pieces Ladies Finger / Okra ? 5 Beans ? 5 Tomato ? 2 For the tempering Oil ? 1 tbsp Mustard seeds ? ½ tsp Small onion ? 6-8 or Onion ? 1 Other ingredients Tamarind ? 2 tbsp soaked in water Turmeric ? ½ tsp Salt to taste Coriander leaves, chopped (optional) ? 1 sprig Cumin ? ½ tsp Asafoetida ? ¼ tsp the method Cook the dal with green chilly. Fry the condiments one by one. Fry the coconut till it is brown in colour. Powder all the condiments together with the fried coconut and cumin. Then, grind the powdered condiments to a smooth paste. Par boil the vegetables and then add the cooked dal, ground paste, turmeric powder and salt. When the vegetables have completely cooked add tamarind pulp and asafoetida. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Add onion and fry till it is brown in colour. Pour the tempering over the vegetables and dal mixture. Sprinkle coriander leaves. Aromatic sambar is ready!
