Enjoy !

Note
  • Adjust the quantity of sambar powder as per your taste.
  • As we are grinding the vegetables and coconut, it gives thickness to the sambar. So it needs less toor dal.
  • Do not add more vegetables for grinding as it may change the flavor of sambar.
  • I have added tomato, onion along with dal. If you wish, u can saute them in oil and then add to the dal.
  • Tempering in ghee gives a nice flavor.
