2. In a saucepan add all the ingredients listed for sambar except the toor daal and keep it on the stove.
3. The greens should be cooked completely. Add some more water if required.
4. Now add the mashed toor daal to the greens and let it cook for another 3 minutes.
5. In a small frying pan add the oil, once it heats add the mustard seeds. Once it starts to splutter add the methi seeds and the slit green chili and fry it for a minute. Add the tempering to the boiling sambar and leave it in the stove for another 2 minutes and then switch off the stove. This sambar should not have a very thick consistency also. It will taste better if it’s little watery.
