Ingredients
.5 cup toor dal
Tamarind small gooseberry sized ball.
10-12 pearl onions (About 6 shallots can be used instead of pearl onions)
1 small carrot peeled and chopped
Half Green Bell Pepper, cubed
1 small tomato finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
Salt
To roast and grind-
 
1.5 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon channa dal
1/4 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
3-4 dried red chilies
1 tablespoon urad dal optional
2 teapoons grated coconut
To temper- 2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
10-12 curry leaves

Instructions
Pressure cook toor dal until very soft. Mash the cooked dal thoroughly and set aside. Peel the onions, chop the vegetables. Heat a pan and add 2 tablespoons oil to it. Temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves.
Add pearl onions and saute well. Add the veggies and saute for 3-4 minutes. Add turmeric powder and saute well. Add 3/4 cup water and cook the veggies for 5 minutes. Soak tamarind in water for 15 minutes and extract thick juice. Add tamarind juice and cook for 3-5 minutes.
Add the cooked dal and mix well. Add salt and ground spice powder. Cook for 5 more minutes. Add cilantro leaves and serve sambar hot with rice or dosa.
Recipe Notes Add tamarind juice only after cooking the veggies for 5 minutes. Use sesame oil for authentic flavor and taste. If your dal is not very smooth after mashing, you can use a grind it before adding to the sambar. The vegetables should not be over cooked, the shape and crunch should be slightly retained.
Serving Suggestions
Serve hot with rice or dosas
