    Radish Sambar

    What is Sambar

    Sambar is a lentil-based vegetable stew prepared in south Indian cuisine. Sambar usually has any one vegetable or a combination of vegetables. But the base uses to be onions, Tomato, Toor dal, and Tamarind. It is a popular breakfast as well as lunch stew.

    There are many variations in the sambar. Today I am sharing one of the common versions along with Radish. It is nutritious indeed as we have the liberty of using any veggies we like which makes it healthier. Also, we use Dal in sambar which makes it a protein-rich .

     The main flavor of the Sambar comes from its tadka. So do this part without fail.

    We can also prepare Raddish Sambar in a pressure cooker as a one-pot dish. first cook Dal along with onions, Tomatoes, Dal, and garlic. Pressure cook everything and mash well. Next add the tamarind water, Sambar powder, and Other spices. Also, add Raddish slices. Mix well, check for salt and spice. Pressure cook for another 2 whistles.

    Wait till the pressure releases on its own and then open the cooker. Finally, add the tadka and garnish with coriander leaves.

    Notes

    1)     You can also pressure cook the vegetables along with the dal.It helps us to cook sambar very easily.
    2)     But I believe that the nutrients of the vegetables will be lost if we pressure cook the vegetables.
