Paruppu Kuzhambu (sambar)

Ingredients

1 cup cooked red gram dal
2 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp fenugreek seeds
A bit of asafoetida
Few curry leaves
A medium lemon sized tamarind soaked in water
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp sambar powder
Vegetable of your choice like potatoes, colacassia, raddish, sweet potato, pumpkin, capsicum, drumstick
1 medium tomato chopped

Heat oil, add mustard and fenugreek seeds. When it splutters add asafoetida and curry leaves. Add the tomato and vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. Add tamarind juice, turmeric and cook covered till the vegetable gets soft. Add salt, sambar powder and finally the cooked dal and mix well. You should have a thick sambar, else you can add a paste of rice flour and water to it and allow it to boil. That will make the sambar thick.

Serve with rice or breakfast.
