How To Cook Sambar Recipe

Which dal to use for Sambar Recipe?

1. So let’s start today’s very easy recipe. To make summer in the cooker,I have taken half a cup of toor i.e. arhar dal. Only arhar dal is used in sambar but if you do not like arhar dal then you can also use moong dal of your choice but it is traditional. Sambar is made from tur dal i.e. arhar dal.

2. So we will wash the lentils thoroughly with water. If you want, you can also soak it.

If the dal is not soaked for more than 10 minutes, then let us move towards the pressure cooker. In the pressure cooker, we will heat two to three spoons of oil. The use of oil in sambar is less.

3. As soon as the oil gets hot.

We will add one tablespoon of mustard or mustard seeds, one-fourth teaspoon of asafoetida and then add lots of curry leaves.

Sambar tastes very good with curry leaves, so you must add it to it.

4. As soon as the flavor of curry leaves comes into the oil, we will add onions to it, so here I am using Sambar onions i.e. small onions which are available in the market.

Otherwise, you can also use normal onion, chop a big onion finely and add it.

Which vegetables should be used to make Sambar?

1. Among the vegetables, here I have taken pumpkin, here I have taken drumstick, here I have taken potato and with it I have taken bottle gourd.

So, you can add vegetables as per your choice in Sambhar, you can add all the vegetables in Sambhar, you can add beans, you can add cabbage, there are no such rules, you can also add papaya but whatever you like, bitter gourd etc. Do not add all those vegetables which do not go in. You can add all those vegetables which you like in the wild, leaf vegetables etc. do not go in.

2. So look here, we have to fry the vegetables for three to 4 minutes.

As soon as the vegetables get cooked a little, we will add tomatoes to it. I added two tomatoes and added salt to cook the tomatoes. We will soften the tomatoes a little. Meaning, cook for two minutes. As soon as the vegetables get roasted a little, we will add spices to it.

Which masala should be used to make sambar recipe?

1. If you have to add only turmeric, red chilli and sambar masala among the spices, then one teaspoon turmeric powder, one tablespoon red chilli powder and two teaspoons sambar masala, two tablespoons sambar masala. Yes, of any brand or homemade.

There is also a homemade recipe.

2. So here we will mix everything well, as soon as the masala gets mixed with the vegetables, we will add this soaked dal in it.

If the masala is sticking while frying. So you can add some water to it.

3. So I put this toor dal here, mix the dal well with the spices and then add water and whistle. Sambhar is a very tasty and healthy dish, meaning we have added so many vegetables in it that there is no need to add anything else, so here I have used four cups of water for half a cup of toor dal.

And added a little salt. I had added salt earlier also, as far as you remember.

4. So here we will mix everything well and do not add too much water, otherwise the water will start coming out from the whistle of the cooker. First cook it well.

And after that, if you feel that Sambar is thick then you can reduce its thickness by adding water.

5. Cook on medium flame till four whistles. If you are making it for children, then do not add the drumstick in it or fry the drumstick separately and add it because the drumstick will become soft in the pressure cooker, so they will eat the threads like this. If the time comes, if you are making it for children then do not add the drumsticks or fry them separately and add them.

So the drumsticks will not fall apart and will not be soft, so you can take them out and give them to the children separately.

6. So here our sambar is ready, it has whistled, turn off the gas and let the pressure cooker cool down on its own. When the pressure cooker cools down on its own, then we will open it carefully. Wait a little bit here and see this, then you can see it here.

If all the vegetables are cooked well, then you can mash the vegetables a little because there should not be too many vegetables visible in the sambar, a thin gravy should be visible and with it something like drumstick or pumpkin. Whatever has gone or gone is visible in big pieces.

7. So here if you want to reduce its thickness by adding normal water or hot water, then I have kept the gas on here, so I added one cup of hot water and in it we will add one spoon of jaggery, jaggery is used for sweetness.

You can also use sugar instead of jaggery. Sambar is slightly sour, sweet and spicy with lots of flavour. So add a little sugar or jaggery to it to make this dish complete and we have not even added tamarind yet, tamarind is delicious in it.

8. So what we will do is add three tablespoons of tamarind juice into it.

So either you soak the tamarind in water and take out its pulp or if not then you can add water to the tamarind paste, desolder it and add it. Now we will make tadka for sambar.

How to make Tadka for Sambar Recipe

1. So to make tadka, I have heated a tadka pan here, we will put two spoons of oil in it, as soon as the oil gets heated, we will add only two to three dried red chillies in it and use fresh curry leaves.

It tastes very good in Sambar and as soon as the curry leaves get cooked a little, turn off the gas and let the temperature of the oil reduce a little.

2. After this, we will add one teaspoon of Sambar masala in it. Keep in mind that if the oil is too hot, the spices will burn. You can add half a teaspoon of Kashmiri red chili powder in it, it is optional in it.  I am just using it for color and after this we will pour this tadka over this sambar.

3. So this is our sambar, it is ready, so close the cooker here and let the flavor of tadka come in, so I left it here for a minute, I have kept the gas off and after that we come back. After a minute, open it and see, our very tasty Sambar is ready.

4. So you have seen how easy it is to make sambar and children do not eat vegetables very often. So you can cook such vegetables in dal and give them to them, they will not even know about it and it also tastes very good. If you are making it for children then reduce the use of chilli and do not add chilli in the tempering. So now let’s move on to the process of serving it.
