Serving: 3 - 4 people
Preparation time: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 Carrot

7 - 8 Beans

Toor dal - 1/2 cup

Moong dal - 1/4 cup

Sambar Powder - 1 1/2 spoon

Salt - according to taste

Few curry leaves

Tamarind - little

Turmeric - 1/4 spoon

Sugar / jaggery - 1/4 spoon

Grated coconut - 1/4 cup

Procedure:

Chop the vegetables and cook them in a pressure cooker along with washed dal, 3 - 4 drops of oil, turmeric and sufficient water. After 3 whistles, switch off the flame.

Grind the coconut, sambar powder and tamarind into fine paste.

Pour the masala paste, cooked dal and vegetables into a vessel and allow it to boil. Add salt, sugar/jaggery and some water, to adjust the consistency. 

Once it starts boiling, add few curry leaves. Also add chopped coriander if you like to do so.

Allow it to boil for 4 - 5 minutes and remove from the flame.

Serve hot with rice.

If you are using veggies like potato or beetroot for this kind of sambar, add some chopped onion while the sambar is boiling. It will give a nice aroma and doubles the taste of sambar.
