Instant Tur-Moong Daal Drumsticks Sambar With Sambar Powder

Moong daal is easier to digest than Tur daal, wanted to make
Something light on stomach and also fast without all the work of grinding coconut paste, so I decide to make an instant Sambar by using both daal and Sambar powder.
We had it with karela chips and dalia rice.

Instructions
- Wash and soak tamarind in lukewarm water
- Wash and cook daal.
- In a cooker add oil and mustard and fenugreek seeds. Green chillies, 1/4 tsp asafoetida and curry leaves and saute.
- Next add tomatoes and drumstick and spices; turmeric, 2 tsp sambar masala, 1 tsp corriander powder and salt
- I always add a bundle of corriander leaves and stalks to add extra flavours to my liquids while cooking and then I discard this bundle.
- Squeeze the tamarind in water, to get all the juices from it and add only the liquid to the drumsticks.
- Close the lid of the cooker and cook till 1 1/2 whistles. Discard the bundle. This process softens the drumsticks faster and also the rawness of masala and tamarind gets cooked easily within minutes.
- Now add this to the daal and bring to a boil.
- Prepare tempering by heating oil. Add dry red chillies, remainder Asafoetida, remainder mustard seeds and a teaspoon of Sambar masala. Pour it over the prepared sambar when it comes to a boil and switch off the flame.
- Samabar is ready to serve
