Tuwar dal and tomato sambhar recipe
Serves - 4
Preparation time - 20 minutes

Ingredients:
Tuwar dal – 1 cup
Salt – 1-1/2 teaspoons
Red chilli powder – 1 teaspoon
Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
Onions – 2, medium size, finely sliced
Garlic – 3 beads, finely sliced
Tomato – 3, medium size, finely sliced
Green chillies - 3, medium size, slit just a little at the stem end
Tamarind extract – 2 tablespoons
Mustard seeds – 1 teaspoon
Dried red chillies - 2, medium size, broken into halves
Curry leaves – 2 sprigs
Oil – 1+1 teaspoons
Ghee – 1 teaspoon

Method: Boil 6 cupfuls of water in a flat-bottomed vessel; put the dal, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, and 1 teaspoon of oil into it. Cover the vessel with a lid and cook over moderate heat till the dal turns soft. You may also pressure-cook it by boiling the cooker to full pressure and then subsimmer it for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, pour the top thin water into another vessel and mash the residual thick dal to a creamy smooth consistency with a dal churner or you may mash it in a blender. Pour back the dal water into the mashed dal. Add the tamarind extract and salt to the dal. Adjust the water by adding a little more water if needed and cook for 5 minutes. Heat a frying pan and pour in the oil and ghee into it. When very hot, add the mustard seeds to splutter, dried red chillies, curry leaves, garlic, green chillies, and the onions. Saute till the onions turn brown here and there and add the tomatoes. Saute the tomato till its juice does not ooze out and then pour the mashed dal over it. Cover with a lid to simmer over moderate heat for 5 minutes, then over low heat for 10 minutes and remove from the heat. It tastes so delicious when served on hot boiled rice with a teaspoon of pure ghee over it. Enjoy!
