Idly Sambar (paasi paruppu sambar) / Breakfast Sambar

Take ½ cup of paasi paruppu (moong dhal) in a cooker. Add water to it. Add small cubed brinjal / eggplant, small cubed potatoes, onions and tomatoes. Add a tsp of oil and turmeric, optionally add slit green chilies to this and let the cooker cook for 5 to 6 whistles. In a pan, splutter mustard, urud dhal and broken red chilies, along with curry leaves. Add tamarind juice a little and also add asafetida and salt. Add the content from the cooker into this and let it boil and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. And the sambar is ready to be served. 

Modification, you can do this also with thoor dhal (thuvaram paruppu sambar). But the only difference is, leave only 2 or 3 whistles instead of 5 or 6 in the cooker.

Enjoy it with Idly or Dosai.
