    February 18, 2011 by Raks Anand 115 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Learn how to make moong dal tiffin sambar, perfect to go with tiffin items like idli, dosa, pongal, upma etc. Step by step pictures post.

    moong dal tiffin sambar
    Moong dal sambar

    I make this very often and now hooked to this recipe,as my kid always wants sambar for idli/dosa.. I like it best with pongal.

    The mild taste makes the sambar perfect for dunking the tiffin items in it and have generously.  Check out my other idli sambar with toor dal, fresh ground spices.

    Sambar powder

    sambar-powder-fresh-ground

    Roast in ½ teaspoon oil and powder coarsely :

    Channa dal/kadalai paruppu - 1 & ½ tbsp

    Coriander seeds - 1 & ½ tsp

    Dry red chilli -  4 

    Fenugreek seeds - ½ tsp

    Method

    1. Pressure cook dal for 3 whistles, mash and keep aside. Chop onion, vegetables, tomatoes, slit green chillies.
    2. Heat kadai/pan with oil/ ghee and temper with the items given under ‘To temper’ table in order.
    3. Add onion and fry till transparent. After that, add the vegetables and tomato together and fry in medium flame for 2 minutes. Add little salt while frying for easy cooking of the vegetables.
    fry

    4. Then add required water and the tamarind and boil till the vegetables get cooked. Add the curry leaves,coriander leaves,salt, asafoetida and jaggery. Lastly add the sambar powder and bring to boil.

    boil, add sambar powder

    5. Add the cooked dal and mix well. Adjust water as needed to get a sambar consistency. Bring to boil and garnish with coriander leaves.

    add moong dal, boil

    Serve with idli/dosa or pongal or you can have it with mini idlis as I did that day for dinner 🙂 ! Top with sesame oil or ghee if desired..

      Hi Raks,
      First, so glad I found your site for south indian recipes. LOVE the step by step pictures.
      Noticed the sambhar powder ingredients in this recipe are with less ingredients (toor dal, pepper corns, jeera and turmeric powder are missing) than in your sambhar powder recipe on the side. Is that on purpose? Does this tiffin sambhar not need those other ingredients? Want to make some so wanted to find out before making.
      Also, do you have a recipe for the red tomato chutney served in Tamilnadu with Dosa/Idli?
      Thank You

      Hi sne,

      Yes the sambar powder in the side bar is for day to day use and is a tiny bit different, for freshly ground we add just these mentioned. Do try this way, it will be a hit for sure!

      I have two chutneys :
      Onion Tomato Chutney
      Tomato chutney
      Hope you like it.

      Hi, make thin dosa as you make regularly and once cooked, using a knife or kitchen scissor, cur halfway through the dosa like drawing a radius of a circle. Then Roll with the cut end to make cone dosa. I will soon update a video or pictorial for it. Thanks for asking.

      Yes its glass corning ware. Its called VISIONS.

      Instead of potato, pieces of 1 cup bottle gourd (lauki)can be added.Fry some 8-10 Whole green chilli - slit in little oil till it changes with white spots and add after STEP - 4 and bring it to boil.Instead of chopped onion long and thin onion pieces can be use. A spoon of sugar crystal too can be added. Whole this your recipe with above changes makes this SAMBHAR a famous kitty party recipe of my society. And it is always discussed in every Kitty party known as my Mammy's SAMBHAR.

      Hi raks,
      I found you couple of weeks back and I am hooked. All your recipes look simple and delicious. I tried couple of your recipes and bothe came out well. Veg momos and veg fried rice. Thank you. Keep blogging new recipes.
      Reg this sambar, I have a ques: you have mentioned jaggery in the ingredients list, but did you add it while cooking? Should we add or not?

      Will stay tuned to your posts.

      Thanks
