  1. Cooking the Dal is essential step for making any Sambar: Rinse ½ cup toor dal (100 grams) a couple of times in water and then add it to the pressure cooker add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder. Add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder &  a drop of oil pressure cook dal for 4 to 5 whistles or till it becomes soft.  Once the pressure release and then open. mash and keep aside.
  2. Sambar Powder: Always add the freshly ground sambar powder. While making the sambar powder dry roast on low flame otherwise it will burn. also, the ingredients should not turn too crisp.
  3.  Tamarind Extract: soak tamarind in the water at least  15 mins before making sambar so that we can exact juice easily, if you forgot to soak then soak in hot water for 5 mins and then extract the juice. a small gooseberry sized tamarind in 1 cup hot water for 15 minutes and then extract the juice and discard the pulp.
