  • then add chopped tomatoes and saute well ,then add all the vegetables and saute well.
  • Now to this ,add grounded paste and stir for a minute and add cooked dal with enough water.
  • Stir well,add enough salt and allow to boil for sometime.
  • then add tamarind juice and stir well.add some chopped coriander leaves also.
  • Close it with a  lid and cook till vegetables are done.
  • Occasional stirring is gud to avoid  dal to get stick at the bottom.
  • Once the vegetables are get cooked ,the sambar is ready to mix with the rice.
  • Do not mix hot sambar to hot rice ,becoz it will absorb more sambar and when it get cool it will become so dry and hard.
  • So plz allow both the sambar and rice to cool down for sometime.
  • Then pour sambar to the rice gently and mix well.Add enough sambar .
  • Once everything is done ,sambar sadham is ready to serve with any pickle or papad or any poriyals .
  • To make ur sambar sadham additional rich, add some ghee roasted cashew and curry leaves on top and serve.
