Pressure cook them. 4.after the pressure is released, now in a frying pan pour some oil and splutter the mustard seeds.To it add the shallot and coriander and mint leaves. 5. At the end , add a pinch of sugar or jaggery to balance all the flavors of the sambhar. [And I prefer coconut oil ]
Exactly the same method I follow..but adding mint :confused2: Sorry I have never heard of adding mint to sambhar..
nice recipe, but a small suggestion, along with toor dal if you add red dal too, the taste increases a lot. :my two cents
