Notes
- Use fresh drumsticks: Fresh, tender drumsticks give the best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcook the drumstick: Cook just until tender so the pieces hold their shape.
- Boil the tamarind well: Make sure the raw tamarind smell disappears before finishing the sambar.
- Adjust the consistency: Add hot water little by little to get your preferred consistency.
- Let the sambar simmer: Simmer for a few minutes after adding the dal so all the flavors blend beautifully.
- Temper at the end: Add fresh tempering just before serving for a wonderful aroma.
