Sambhar for Idly & Vada

Ingredients:
1 cup Dal
1 big tomato
1 onion
Jeerige(Cumin)
Pepper
Tamarind
Sambhar powder
Sasve(Mustard seed)
Curry leaf
Salt
Jaggery

How to make it: 
Boil the dal along with the tomato and the onion in the cooker for say 2 whistle.

In a pan heat some ghee in low flame and put 1 spoon Jeerige, 2 spoon of pepper. Warm it little bit. Too much of heating will make the sambhar dark brown in color.

Grind the above mixture along with 1 spoon of sambhar powder and little tamarind.

If needed, once the dal is cooled squeeze or grind it to liquid. Heat 2 tsp of oil, put mustard seeds, curry leaf and wait till it starts splashing. Now add the cooked dal. Put the grinded masala and stir. Add salt as per taste. Boil it for say 10 minute in medium flame. In the end add jaggery as per your choice.
