    Sambar Lentil Stew is a staple dish in my kitchen. I make it at least twice in a week, I usually use different vegetables to make the Sambar. It is an easy to make recipe for a busy day. It is packed with loads of proteins plus we can add our favourite vegetable.

    I usually make the same sambar for my breakfast and Lunch together so that it saves time. Hence Carrot comes as a saviour and helps in our Lunch and Breakfast together. Now let’s get started.

    Notes

    • Instead of adding the carrots in cooker it can also be sautéed after Tempering.
    • After tempering ingredients are added add in the carrots and cook it till done and then add in the cooked Dal and bring it to a boil.
    • However on busy working days when I don’t get time I cook the carrots in pressure cooker itself as it saves time.
    • Tastes good with Idli or Dosa ,Pongal or even Steamed Rice.
