    Coconut Sambar | Tiffin Sambar

    February 26, 2016 By Anlet Prince Leave a Comment

    Sambar with Coconut is a very tasty sambar. My favourite sambar from moms cooking. This is a staple sambar in our home. Prepared atleast once in a week with idli or dosa. Toor dal is cooked with veggies and coconut paste is mixed to it. Protein rich, A healthy option to start your day. No any extra spices are added its just the coconut and curry leaves that does the magic and brings in the taste. Here goes the Recipe...

    Coconut Sambar Recipe

    Prep time: 10 Min | Cook time: 20 min | Total time:30 min
    Recipe type: Main Course | Cuisine: Indian | Yield / Serves: 4
    Taste: Spicy

    Ingredients:

    Toor Dal - ½ Cup
    Brinjal - 2 Small
    Onion - 1 or Shallots/Small Onion - 8
    Tomato - 2
    Asafoetida - ¼ Teaspoon
    Coconut - ½ cup scraped
    Dry red chillies - 4
    Jeera - 2 teaspoon
    Curry Leaves - ½ cup

    Step by Step Photos on how to make Tiffin Sambar with coconut:

    1. Wash the Toor dal and add it in a pressure cooker.
    2. Add Chopped Onion, tomato and brinjal. Add Asafoetida.
    3. Add water upto the level of ingredients and pressure cook for 3 whistles. After the first whistle simmer the flame for next 2 whistles. Switch off the flame and allow the pressure to release on its own.
    4. Dry roast the dry red chillies until crispy.
    5. Add grated coconut, jeera and roasted dry chillies and grind it to a paste.
    6. Open the pressure cooker after the pressure is released.
    7. Mash the contents using a hand blender. This step is completely optional. I like to do it as all the veggies are mixed and it is easy to feed kids.
    8. Add the coconut paste and curry leaves into the sambar mixture. Add Salt to taste. Cook until the coconut blends well with the sambar.
    9. Yummy sambar is ready to be served with crispy Dosa

    Tips:

    • Sambar Powder is not included in this recipe. Dal, coconut and roasted chillies brings in the taste.

    Serving Suggestion:

    Coconut Sambar tastes best when served with crispy dosa. It is suitable to be served with idli, dosa and roti.
