Radish Sambhar


It’s been sometime that I added a new post on my blog. Not that I lost interest, just that work was hectic and I had no time at my disposal. Last night I prepared Radish Sambhar…Here’s how I prepared it...

Ingredients…
1 cup toordal, pinch of turmeric, One onion chopped, 2 ripe tomatoes finely chopped, white radish – cut into medium peices, 3 tsp of tamarind pulp1tsp of red chilli powder,
2tsp of salt, 3 tsp of sambhar powder
Oil, mustard, jeera, curry leaves for tadka

Method…
Pressure-cook toor dal thoroughly until it falls apart, with turmeric in two cups of water. Mash and make a paste. While the toor dal is pressure-cooked, heat 1 tsp of oil in a big saucepan, crackle some mustard seeds, jeera and curry leaves. Add onions, tomatoes, white radish, sauté them for few minutes.Stir in the tamarind juice, salt, red chilli powder, sambhar powder and 1 glass water. Mix it well, cover with a lid. Bring the water to boil, then add mashed toor dal. Let it simmer for fifteen minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally, till the good aroma emanates. Serve hot with rice.
