Many of you would have wondered as to why your Muringkkai and Mulangi sambar tastes different and why no original flavour of Muringakkai or Mulangi (radish) is missing from sambr. The
secret lies in the method of preparation of those two sambars. Today I
would be posting the correct method to prepare Muringakkai sambar. I hope
you would try it out and let me know. (use the same method for Mulangi
sambar) |
(for a family of four 2 servings)
100 gms Thoram Parappu

Dice tomato in small pieces. Pluck kothumalli and set aside. Cook the dhall after adding one small spoon of Perangayam (hing) very well. Keep it aside in the cooker for thirty minutes. Now churn the dhall till the froth and keep it aside. Add half sprig of curry leaves in the Dhall and Now add extract of Tamarind to Dhall along with salt . Boil the dhall till the raw smell of Tamarind goes off. Add 3/4 cooked Muringakkai pieces now along with water which was used for cooking Murungakkai and add required (extra)salt.
