Comfort food at its best - a tangy south Indian dal enriched with the goodness of cucumber tastes amazing. Serve it with some steaming hot rice to make it a heart-warming meal.
Sambhar can be made with different vegetables added to the dal. Here we have used radish or mooli or moolangi which adds its distinct flavour to the dish. A little bit of jaggery is added to balance the slight bitter taste of the radish. All in all a very flavourful sambhar that can be enjoyed with steamed rice.
In Mangalorean cuisine you will find unique combinations of vegetables, lentils or pulses which when cooked together give delicious results. This recipe is one such combination where ivy gourd or tendli or tindora is cooked with brown chana. Cooked with sambhar masala, onion, garlic and fresh coconut this dish is irresistible.
