Рецепт Mor Sambhar | Buttermilk Sambhar
My mother in law always surprises me in the kitchen. Not only is she a super cook but she also knows how to make life easier in the kitchen. Any kitchen hacks or if I get bored of the same routine dinner, she is my phone-a-friend. Most of the times, after speaking to her my problem resolves. The moment I told about the marathon, she pitched right in. Coming to today's recipe, until my marriage I always thought sambhar is synonymous with tamarind. But then she surprised me with a sambhar made of Buttermilk. It was so flavourful that I liked it more than the regular sambhar. Very simple and easy to make. This is yet another in law's kitchen feature!

Then add the chopped okra and sautee for a couple of minutes. Add water and cook.
Once it turns soft, add the mixed butter milk paste and keep the flame low-medium.
As soon as it starts to froth on top add the cooked dahl. Mix it well. Check for seasoning and adjust.
Keep it on medium low for another 5 minutes and as the sambhar starts to thicken, garnish with coriander leaves and turn off the flame.
Notes
Veggies like drumstick, brinjal, ash gourd and chayote can also be added.
The amount of buttermilk depends on its sourness. So adjust accordingly. If its very sour add little and mix water.
