Lotus Root Fenugreek Sambhar
Thursday, March 27, 2014
I was planning to make a flavourful dal based curry called sambhar with lotus root, obviously i went to chinese store and picked them from frozen section. Yesterday we got a mail from Vaishali about our this months Magi Mingle challenge with fenugreek and coconut as magic ingredients, first thing came to my mind is to make some sambhar with lotus root and fenugreek. I love fenugreek in sambhar and i do add everytime while making the tempering for sambhar, this time i used fenugreek seeds in both my tempering and in my spice powder i prepared specially for this sambhar.
Yep instead of using sambhar powder, i prepared a spice powder with coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, dessicated coconut,dry red chillies along with asafoetida powder. This sambhar tastes simply awesome when served along with hot steaming rice topped with ghee and fried papads. We had a fabulous and slightly bitter lunch yesterday, since bitter is better to health its really wonderful to have this kind of dishes once in a while in your diet.

Quick Vegetable Sambhar
Wednesday, February 5, 2014
I can call this sambhar as bachelors sambhar, yep this dish is really very quick to make and definitely an easy breezy dish, gets ready in very less time. Just you need a pressure cooker, this is a pressure cooker sambhar. I do this sambhar quite often if i have sudden guests at home or else whenever i feel like lazy.This sambhar dont even need onions or garlic, so you can have this gravy for a fasting day. Coming to this sambhar, i used mixed dals and variety of veggies, just put everything together which goes for pressure cooking which i spiced up with sambhar powder, tempered spices and lemon juice.
Whenever i go to farmers market, back home i usually prepare my frozen veggies either by slicing or chopping them, as they are really handy for making quick foods,also they wont lose their vitamins once they get freezed. If you have frozen veggies,this sambhar is super easy to make. For my second day of blogging marathon, am posting this quick sambhar as i chosed pressure cooked recipes as this weeks theme.
