  • Pressure cook rice and toor dhal seperately and keep aside.

  • Heat a pan,add oil followed by mustard seeds,red chilli,methi seeds,asafoetida and curry leaves. Add the small onions and cook till they turn light brown.
  • Now add the tomato and other vegetables and saute till they shrink in volume.
  • Add the tamarind juice,sambar powder and salt and boil till the raw smell of tamarind and sambar powder goes off.
  • Mash the cooked toor dhal nicely with a ladle and add to the sambar.You can adjust the consistency by adding little water.
  • Boil for few minutes till the dhal blends nicely with the sambar.Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.sambar is ready.
  • To make sambar rice,mix the cooked rice little by little to the prepared sambar.Add rice till you get perfect consistency.Drizzle little ghee on top and serve with Chips or papad.
