Dosa Sambar

Ingredients

1 tsp Oil

1 tsp Mustard

1/2 tsp Asafoetida/perungayam
1/2 Jeera

1 tsp Tamrid paste

1/4 tsp Tumeric powder

1/2 Sambar powder (refer to my other blog)

Other Ingredients

2 tbsp Dosa Sambar powder

1 1/2 tbsp coconut powder

1- 1 1/2 cups Toor Dal boiled

2 tomato sliced

Grind the other ingredients and keep it aside.

Tips - I usually boiled toor dal in pressure cooker, but we can also cook it in microwave as long as you can mash the toor dal finally. For 1 cup of toor dal use 2 cups of water for boiling.

Steps

• Heat oil in a wok and put mustard and let it pop. Add Jeera and asafoetida.
• Choose any vegetables of your choice and add it to the oil and cook for a while (it is easy if you precook the vegetable in microwave).
• It is enough if it is half cooked. Add 1 cup water.
• Add 1 tsp tamrid paste and let it get cooked (optional but I usually add).
• Once the tamrid is cooked, add the grinded ingredient.
• Add sambar powder, tumeric, salt. Some coriander leaves Let the content get boiled, add let it boil for 10 - 15 mins in medium heat and the sambar is done.
