    One pot 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 onion but you can also use pearl onion. Yellow pumpkin, white pumpkin, bottle gourd, eggplant, potato, sweet potato, drumstick, etc. can be used for sambhar. If you are using potato add a little extra spice and salt.

    Can I skip the onion?

    Yes, you can skip onion but I prefer using both onions as it gives a good flavor to the rice.

    Can I skip coconut?

    Yes, you can skip coconut but adding coconut gives arachuvitta sambar flavor so I would highly recommend it.

    Why shouldn’t I mix rice and dal?

    Sometimes direct pressure cooking might cause a layer of burnt dal. Placing rice and dal in the top layer prevents it

    Can I add tamarind and salt while cooking rice+ and dal?

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

    Tamarind paste?

    I used homemade tamarind paste. I have already cooked tamarind hence it doesn't need much cooking. If you cook tamarind and prepare sambar, boil for extra time.

    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. For mushy sambar sadham I would recommend 7 whistles

    Why should I add hot water?

    Cold water might turn lumpy so if you are adding water to alter rice so 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

    Can I skip ghee

    I generally use ghee for tempering and coconut oil while cooking rice and +dal. You can skip ghee according to your choice
