Nalgari ( Sambhar ) Making Made Easier

Nalgari is like sambhar, a main course item which is mixed with rice and eaten or it can be used as a side dish to almost any other item like idli, dosa, chapatis, naan etc. Here is how it is made: take about 50 gms ( one closed fistful ) of washed toor dall per person you are making the nalgari for..add to it any cut vegetable of your choice.. ideally a combination of potatoes+ onions, or potatoes+ brinjals, or potatoes+ green peas, and cook in a pressure cooker for about 5 mts ...transfer the contents onto a stove after cooking and heat on a low flame .. add to it tamarind juice, curry leaves, salt and about 1 or two teaspoons of nalgari powder ( i have already posted a video on how to make nalgari powder here on youtube , bring to a boil and turn off the heat, the nalgari is ready
EAT !

Namaste, sir. I'd like to say I really love indian food, all vegetarian dishes are tasty as well as the sweets.

Thanks for this video. You made it look easy to cook but for me it's still so difficult because I am no good at cookin'.

believe me, i am no professional in cooking, and have spent enough time to think that it should be easy and involve no art / tricks / experience beyond the normal interest in cooking to make these recipes ! and i really dont believe that you are no good at cooking ..else would you have watched this video ? cheers ! :-)

I just made sambar following ur video.. But I used the sambar powder instead of nalgari powder, and it came out yummy.... thanks ....

i glad for you that it came out so well with sambar powder ( bought out or home made ?) you do get good sambar powders these days in the market, but you have to experiment a lot with various brands before you settle on the one that appeals to you .. the advantage with making the nalgari powder, is that u can use it for making the bise bele bhat with nalgari powder which tastes more authentic than the one made with sambar powder .. thanks for letting me know !:) cheers !

@oldernwiser0 can you make a video on how you use the pressure cooker? In this recipe you used the pressure cooker but did not actually show that step. May be those who are transitioning from conventional cooking to using pressure cooker might find a general pressure cooker video useful. Thanks.
