Bisibelebath

This is something which I have had in my mind that I should learn, but could never land upon an authentic recipe. The taste which we get in temples as prasadam. also called sambar sadam.. That taste is just soo yummy!!
Finally, I got the taste which I wanted from the traditional bisibelebath.

Ingredients:
Rice-1cup (cook it and keep it ready)
Toor Dal-1/2 cup (cook it and keep it ready)
Mixed veggies(any)
Onions-1 cubed
Tomato-1 cubed (Don't take a pulpy one, take the one which is a bit hard)
Tamarind concentrate in water-1 1/2 cup
Sambar powder-1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric
Oil
Mustard seeds
Methi seeds- 4-5 seeds
Curry leaves
Grated coconut-1/2 cup

Separately roast in little oil:
Coriander seeds-1 1/2 tbsp
Channa dal-2 tbsp
Red chili-3-4 pieces

Procedure:
- Grind the coconut along with the roasted things.
- In a pan, add oil. When it heats up, add mustard, fenugreek seeds, curry leaves
- Add onion and saute. Also add tomato.
- Add the veggies and saute.
- Add the tamarind water and also add turmeric, sambar powder.
- Also, add the ground masala.  Let it boil.
- Transfer this to a pressure cooker along with the  cooked rice and dal and some about 1 cup water.
- Keep this just for 1 whistle.
- Serve hot with papadams and raita.

This is one dish I make when I have to finish off veggies..:-P
