Instant Pot Sambar

Instant Pot Sambar is easy to prepare, healthy and too delicious which you can enjoy with a bowl of rice or as a side dish or dip with Indian dishes like dosa, idli etc.
You can make this delicious Sambar using mixed vegetables, yellow split pigeon peas (toor dal) and sambar masala or spices alongwith with a simple seasoning which is optional.
This combination of dal and vegetables with spices is kind of soup or stew but in South India, we enjoy this as a curry or side dish along with South Indian breakfast items like dosa, idli etc. or it is also served with rice for lunch or dinner.

Okra (Bhindi) Sambar Okra (Bhindi) Sambar
This is another south canara favorite, called "bol koddel" in local-speak. You can create variations of this, by replacing Okra with any vegetable with a hard texture, like cucumber, squash, beets, radishes and so on. They all taste different, and the end product tastes quite different in each case. Enjoy! Rahul Nodu Shivananda -
