Recipe Notes

To make instant sambar mix, we need to dryly fry all the ingredients first.

Let's fry toor dal first

Fry toor dal on low flame only so that it doesn’t burn or the taste will change

Fry till it changes colour and cut off the stove

Move it into a plate

Let's fry bengal gram next

Fry cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds

Add pepper and mix

Don't fry pepper for too long. Fry till they heat up

Add cinnamon sticks, cloves, cardamom and stir

Move it into the same plate

Fry 10-12 dried chillies. The quantity of dried chillies depends on your taste.

We could add chilli powder later also if desired

Move dried chillies into the plate after they start to change colour

Fry curry leaves. These are washed and dried curry leaves.

Fry till the curry leaves lose all the moisture in it.

Fry till it turns crispy

Move it into the same plate

Let's heat up tamarind also since we shouldn't wash it

Let all the ingredients cool down

Add them to a mixie jar.

Also add tamarind, 1 teaspoon salt or salt to taste 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

Any vegetables could be used for cooking this sambar

Tomatoes, carrots, onions, drumsticks, bottle guard pieces are being used here.

To a pan, add all the chopped vegetables, 1 cup water, close lid

If in a cooker, cook for 1-2 whistles

Add as much water as desired

Add 3 tablespoons of instant sambar mix powder to a different bowl
