Drumstick leaves sambar

here is the my mom's version of murunga elai sambar

Drumstick leaves sambar:
-----------------------

toor dhal - 1 cup (boil and keep aside)

Now grind the following:

red chilly - 5
jeera - 1/2 tsp
garlic - 5 pips
coconut - 4 tblsp grated
dhania seeds - 2 tsp

grind the above ingredients like a chutney and keep separately.

now in a pressure pan, add oil, kadukku, urad dhal, 1/4 tsp of jeera, 1 red chilly . when kadukku pops up add curry leaves, then add small onion - chopped, 200 gm (roughly chopped), fry till it turns into pink colour.
then add the ground masala and fry nicely till nice smell comes out of it.

now add 4 tomatoes medium size, chopped and fry till it comes like a gravy , then add 2 cups of drumstick leaves, fry for 2 minutes, then add the boiled dhal. add required amount of salt,turmeric powder, water and close the lid and allow it for one whistle.

on top add 1 tsp of ghee and little coriander leaves. this is very tasty. u can have it with steamed rice.

try and let me know the feedback.

Note:  Can use methi leaves in place of murungaikeerai. Methi sambar romba nalla irundhichu... It was not bitter atall... just take care not to chop the methi finely...chumma onnuku renda cut panni podunga... that way it wouldn't be bitter...
