WHAT IS SAMBAR ?

SAMBAR IS LIKE A MIXED VEGETABLE CURRY WHICH ARE POPULAR IN SOUTH INDIA. IT IS ALSO A TRADITIONAL SIDE DISH / CURRY OF KERALA. IT IS ONE OF MOST IMPORTANT DISH IN ONAM SADYA.

IT IS PREPARED BY USING CHANA DAL OR MASOOR DAL. ITS YOUR CHOICE TO PREFER WHICH DAL SHOULD BE USE. HERE I USED MASOOR DAL. THE TRADITIONAL SAMBAR IS COOKED THE DAL AND VEGETABLES SEPERATELY. TRADITIONAL RECEPI  TELLS TO COOK THE DAL FIRST. ONCE IT BOILED AND COOKED, THEN ADD ALL THE VEGETABLES. THE SPICES WILL BE ADDED ONLY WHEN SEASONING.

HOW TO MAKE TASTY SAMBAR INSTANTLY.....?

HERE I MAKE EASY AND SIMPLE RECIPE. IT IS VERY USEFUL TO THE BEGINNERS. I MAKE THE SAMBAR IN PRESSURE COOKER. I DIDN'T COOK DAL AND VEGETABLES SEPERATELY. I PUT DAL AND VEGETABLES TOGETHER IN PRESSURE COOKER BY ADDING A PINCH OF TURMERIC POWDER, SAMBAR POWDER, ENOUGH SALT AND WATER. ONLY ONE WHISTLE NEEDED. AFTER THAT I SEASONED THE SAMBAR WITH MUSTARD SEEDS,FENUGREEK SEEDS, CUMIN SEEDS, DRIED RED CHILLY, CURRY LEAVES, SHALLOTS AND ENOUGH SPICES SUCH AS SAMBAR POWDER, RED CHILLY POWDER etc BY USING COCONUT OIL.
