GRAM FLOUR SAMBAR/QUICK SAMBAR

               GRAMFLOUR SAMBAR/QUICK SAMBAR-கடலைமாவு சாம்பார்

   Are you tired of making chutneys for idli ,dosa ...then make sambar ,I'm not telling about normal sambar,that'll  take 30 minutes.
   For a change try this QUICK SAMBAR. It only takes one third of time we spent for normal 
Sambar ,that is only 10 minutes  you need.
                                


Preparation Time :15 minutes.    Servings : 2

Ingredients:
Tomato                 1 medium
Large onion          Same size as tomato
Mustard seeds.    1 tsp
Curry leaves.        10 leaves
Gram flour.           2 tsp headed
Sambar powder.  2 tsp flat
Mango powder.    4 pinch ( you can substitute this with  2 tsp tamarind paste )
Coriander leaves.  1/4 cup tightly packed 
Oil.                        1 tsp
Salt.  To taste
               

Making:

1. Clean & Chop onion and tomato into small pieces , collect coriander leaves and discard the 
    stem portion,actually I add more coriander leaves because It enhances the taste of sambar.

2. Heat a pan ,pour oil, add mustard seeds to heated oil ,wait for mustard seeds to splutter 
    ,then   add  onion and a bit of salt ,  sauté for some time (2 minutes ) in medium flame  then add 
   tomato and sauté  until onion and tomatoes are well cooked( change in color) .(it'll take only 5 minutes )

   


3. Now add sambar powder to it ,fry for a minute .

4. At the same time mix gramflour in a cup of water  without lumps .


5. Add this flour mixer to the cooked onion tomato  in the pan ,add another 2 -3 cups of water , 
    mango powder  and enough  salt ,let it boil. In between ,stir from the bottom of the pan . Keep it 
    in low flame.
     
6. Within  3-5 minutes sambar'll become thick, If needed ,add more or less water  for your desired
    consistency .check for the taste .if you need more tangy taste ,give another pinch of mango 
    powder. Right tangy ness and salt give you The Right taste of sambar.

7. Finally add coriander leaves and switch off ,stove.

8. Enjoy this new taste of sambar with dosa ,idli  ,pongal,poori,etc...
