How to make the best Sambhar Soup

Buy sambhar vegetables from a store

Wash them all thoroughly 

The vegetables, I used were russet potatoes, carrots, cilantro, onion shallots, green chili and tomatos.

Russet potatoes cubed

Carrots cubed

Onions Shallots a few Julienne

Tomatos(3)

Chili (4)

Cilantro a bunch for garnishing

Sambhar powder ( Eastern or brahmins)

Toor dal 1 cup

Add Tamarind pulp(size of a small lemon like key lime) in the end to give Sambhar Soup a punch of sour taste.

For tempering 

Oil 1 tablespoon

Dry red chilli 4 

Mustard seeds 1 teaspoon

Curry leaves a few

Shallots a few Julienne

Asafoteda 1 teaspoon 

This is the best soup I have ever had in a cold winter day. The only other soup that beats sambhar soup is rasam soup.
