South Indian Mixed Vegetable Sambar

Sambar is the hallmark dish of most of the households in the Southern part of India. Different varieties of Sambar are prepared with homemade Sambar Powder. There are many different varieties of sambars. The basic variety is the South Indian Mixed Vegetable Sambar. This was made in our household on a regular basis. The smell of sambar cooking always brings back memories of my mom’s kitchen and eating piping hot sambar with idli. 🙂

Notes:

If you do not have time to soak the dal in water, allow the dal to pressure cook for a longer time.

Ensure that the dal does not become mushy.

Other vegetables which can be used for Sambar are: Potato, Beans, Okra (Must be sautéed separately and added later). Vegetables can be added or omitted according to choice.
