Procedure

                1. Chop all the vegetables.

                2. Cook dhal,rice and vegetables together. I pressure cook for 5 to 6 whistles.

                     Water ratio for cooking (1 rice:3 water).Since we r cooking together dhal and 

                     vegetables I usually pour 1 cup extra.Water can be little more but not less as we 

                     want mashed rice and dhal.

                3. Before removing rice from cooker, temper all above items in “to temper”, pour 

                    the tamarind solution and add sambar powder to it.Once it starts boiling add 

                    required amount of salt to it.

                4. Once the raw smell of tamarind is gone add the cooked rice,dhal and vegetables 

                    to the boiling solution.Stir well the contents. Allow it cook till it becomes little 

                    thick.Finally before removing the items from kadai add some ghee to it.

                5. Garnish with coriander and curry leaves.Serve with papad/vadam/potato curry 

                    would be best combination to enjoy.
