Boil The Dal
1

Take a cup of Tuvar Dal in a vessel and pour in two cups of water and place it in a pressure cooker and cook for three to four whistles approximately. Drop in the tomato as well.

Chop The Veggies
2

Wash and clean the drumstick and mango and chop the drumstick into pieces (approximately in the size of the forefinger) and chop the mango into large pieces.

3

Peel off the skin from the shallots and keep it.

Make The Sambhar
4

Place a thick bottomed pan in the stove and keep it in medium flame.

5

Tip in a tablespoon of sesame oil and after a few seconds, throw in the shallots and saute well.

6

When it becomes translucent, add in the chopped drumstick and after five to seven minutes toss over the raw mango pieces with a nice stir and let it get cooked for a while. Just after a minute or two, plop in the boiled tuvar dal and sprinkle the required salt.

7

Add two teaspoons of red chili powder and coriander powder each, along with a quarter teaspoon of turmeric powder and two pinches of asafoetida powder. If you add sambhar powder instead, just three tablespoons will do.

8

Stir in well and add one or two cups of water to get the desired consistency and change the temperature to high mode and let it get cooked for five minutes approximately.

9

When it becomes aromatic and reaches the desired consistency jut lower the flame and check out whether the drumstick is being cooked up well. Also see to it that the mango pieces are partially cooked.

10

When the sambhar comes to a boil, just spill on some lush green coriander leaves and turn off the stove.

Do The Tempering
11

Place a small kadai in the stove and tip in a tablespoon of ghee in it. When it is heated, just add some mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, broken urad dhal and a roughly torn red chili one by one into the kadai.

12

When they splutter, finally toss over a sprig of fresh curry leaves and let it sizzle too.

13

Now add this tempering to the sambhar and close it with a lid. Now the delicious Raw mango Drumstick Sambhar is ready. Serve it with hot steamed rice, potato fry and Vengaya vathal with a dash of ghee.
