10 minutes instant sambar without dal /for idli or dosa (Second version)

This is a 10 minutes instant sambar without dal that you can very well make at home. Its a street style side dish with excellent taste without dal for idli and dosa. I usually make another type of sambar for idli dosa with the same set of ingredients. It’s more simple than this instant sambar without grinding or pressure cooking. But, the taste is different and equally good. Apart from the pressure cooking part the sambar tempering part takes only 10 minutes. So the pressure cooking, cooling and grinding takes a bit of time. I have used both sambar powder and chilli powder to make this sambar. If you are adding besan instead of roasted Bengal gram flour you have to roast the flour

before adding it to the gravy otherwise the raw smell of the besan will surely be over powering. Do try this 10 minutes instant sambar without dal for idli or dosa.
