Instant Sambar Without Dal For Idli, Dosa - Easy Tiffin Sambar Recipe - Pottukadalai Sambar Version 2

Recently I came across this Instant sambar recipe for idli, dosa without dal, vegetables and coconut in Papa’s kitchen YouTube video. We can call this as Dhidir sambar in Tamil. Its a very easy and simple sambar recipe with pottukadalai (Fried gram dal in English) , fennel seeds, onion and tomato as major ingredients. Fried gram dal and fennel seeds(soambu in Tamil) adds a nice flavor, thickness and kurma kind of taste to this tiffin sambar.  I have already shared an idli sambar recipe almost in the same combination without using toor dal, moong dal and vegetables. But this plain sambar is even more easy to make within 10 minutes. It came out really well and tasted great with hot idli and dosa but not for rice. Everybody loved it especially Sendhil appreciated me and had one more idli too. Even Raksha who is a big fan of toor dal and moong dal idli sambar had this sambar sans dal without any complaints. What else I need to post this recipe in my blog. So here you go Instant sambar without dal, vegetables for idli, dosa. You too give a try and share your feedback with me. Soon I will try to make a post on instant sambar without dal for rice.

Wash and chop onion, tomato and green chilli. Grind pottukadalai + soambu(fennel seeds) to a smooth powder. Grind continuously for long time by wiping the sides. It helps to grind a smooth powder without grits else fennel seeds won’t grind properly.  Add 1/2 cup water to this powder and mix well without lumps. You can grind again if you like. Keep this water aside. Heat oil in a kadai. Temper mustard seeds, urad dal, chana dal and red chilli. Add chopped onion, curry leaves, green chilli and saute till transparent. Add tomato and saute till mushy. Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder and required salt. Mix well for a minute. Add pottukadalai water without lumps.

Note

Consistency of this sambar depends on your taste. Some people like thin sambar. So you can adjust the quantity of water accordingly. Fennel seeds gives a nice flavor to this sambar. So do not reduce the quantity. If you like, you can add potato and carrot. Tamarind is not required. Ripe tomato would do. For variations, you can use sambar powder instead of red chilli powder. Garnish with coriander leaves for nice flavor. Do not avoid it.

Try this easy, yummy, instant sambar for idli and enjoy !
