    Cooker sambar sadam

    Pressure sambar sadham is super easy to make and tastes delicious. With little tips & tricks, we can make flavorful properly cooked south Indian style sambar rice.

    Should I soak rice and dal?

    Yes always soak rice and dal as it helps for perfect cooking. if you are soaking for a few hours, use hot water. For overnight soaking, you can use cold water.

    WHAT KIND OF VEGETABLES CAN I USE?

    You can skip the onion and make no onion sambhar. Today I have used big and small onions but you can use them according to your taste. Yellow pumpkin, white pumpkin, bottle gourd, sweet potato, etc. can be utilized for sambhar.

    Can I skip the onion?

    Yes, you can skip the onion, but I prefer using both onions as they give the rice a good flavor.

    Can I skip chilli powder

    Yes, you can increase sambar powder and skip chilli powder

    Can I add tamarind while cooking rice and dal?

    I prefer adding tamarind after pressure cooking rice +dal. tamarind and salt added before might affect dal cooking.

    Tamarind paste?

    you can use homemade tamarind paste. In that case, increase the water for sambar Rice consistency 

    HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD I ADD WHILE COOKING rice DAL?

    It depends on the rice and dal you use. The number of whistles also depends on the rice-dal you use.

    Why should I add hot water?

    Cold water might turn lumpy so if you are adding water to alter cooked sambar Rice always add hot water

    HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT SAMBAR rice

    Cook for 20 minutes and let the pressure release naturally. Follow the rest of the steps same for the instant pot Sambhar sadham recipe

    Will sambar Sadam thickens over time 

    If you follow the recipe including after measurements it stays in the perfect consistency even after hours

    Can I skip ghee

    I generally use ghee for tempering. You can skip ghee according to your choice
