KEERAI SAMBAR RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
| Keerai /spinach | 1 bunch |
| Toor dhal | 1/2 cup |
| Sambhar powder | 1 & 1/2 tsp |
| Tamarind | 1 gooseberry sized |
| Small onion | 12-15 nos. |
| Green/red chilies | 4-5 nos. |
| Turmeric | 1/4 tsp |
| Salt | As needed |
TO TEMPER:
| Oil | 1 1/2 tsp |
| Fenugreek seeds | 1/4 tsp |
| Asafetida | 1/4 tsp |
| Mustard | 1 tsp |
| Jeera | 1/2 tsp |
METHOD:
- Pressure cook toor dhal,keep aside and extract tamarind juice.
- Peel of small onions and slit green chilies.
- Clean the keerai,and chop it...not too fine.
- Heat a kadai with oil and add the items under To Temper table in order.
- Then add onions and green chilies and fry till onions turn golden brown.
- Add this to the tamarind extract,with salt,turmeric and sambar powder and bring to boil.(Add required water).
- After 2 minutes add the chopped keerai,and turn the keerai so that it gets immersed .
- Boil till keerai gets cooked,check the stem for doneness.
- Lastly add thoor dhal and boil for 2 minutes and now keerai sambhar is ready!
- Serve with rice and ghee on top of it..
NOTE:
- We can use any variety of keerai...
- I have used the stem too,you can use leaves alone..
- Water should be added carefully-very less,since this sambhar should be bit thicker in consistency than our usual sambhars.
