My husband rarely cooks. But when he gets into the kitchen, he make sure he doesnt stay around there for too long. He always try to find a way that shortens the cooking process or atleast shorten the time , you stay near the stove.
This time, he tried his hands on sambar. And to my surprise, the sambar was extremely delicious . He calls it quick sambar. I call it bachelor's sambar. What ever the name, it is quite simple and very easy to make . You dont need to stand near the stove and keep sauteing. All you need is a pressure cooker and tadka pan(Seasoning pan).
Preparation Time : Under 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes
Serves : 2 person
INGREDIENTS:
Moong dal - 1/3 cup
Tomato - 1 no. chopped fine ( If tomato skin is very thick, you can remove the skin and chop )

2. Cook in high for 1 whistles and reduce the flame to sim, and cook for another 15 minutes. In the meantime, you can watch your favorite TV shows or do what ever you want . Switch off the stove after 15 minutes. You can see the moong dal and the other items, cooked and mashed very well.
3. Now comes the seasoning part. In a tadka pan, add oil. Add mustard and once it splutters add channa dal. Fry till they change colour and pour it over the sambar. Add some asafoetida powder. Your quick sambar is ready !. You can garnish with coriander leaves if you like !.
