Radish Sambhar

This is a dish I make probably a couple times a month. It goes well with rice or chapati. It is a staple in my house and I use a shortcut by using store bought Sambhar powder.

Ingredients
1 bunch of red radishes
1 small onion (cut into small cubes)
1 small tomato (cut into medium size cubes)
2 cloves of garlic
1 cup of cooked urad dhal
1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
1/2 teaspoon of cumin seeds
1/2 teaspoon of split urad dhal
pinch of fenugreek seeds
1 teaspoon of sambhar powder (I use MTR)
1 teaspoon of cumin powder
salt to taste
1 tablespoon of cilantro

Method of preparation

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in pan and add mustard seeds.
2. Once mustard seeds start splattering add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, and urad dhal.
3. Once cumin seeds start sizzling and urad dhal turns a light golden color add onions and cook until they become transparent.
4. Now combine tomatoes and garlic to pan and cook for another minute 
5. Add cut radishes and salt and cook on medium heat for another 2-3 minutes
6. Now add sambhar and cumin powders and cook for another minute
7. Add cooked dhal and 3-4 cups of water with tamarind paste and bring to boil
8. Once the sambhar starts to boil lower heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes
9. Salt to taste
10. Garnish with cilantro and enjoy!
