Mixed veg sambar

Ingredients
Any vegetable - 1/4 kg
Coconut - Grate 3/4 of half part of Coconut
Sambar powder - 2 to 3 large spoon
Jaggery - 1 very small piece (Optional)
Concentrated Tamarind juice - 1 spoon (If vegetable selected is sour in taste, need not use this.)
Salt
Water
Oil - 1 spoon
Mustard seeds - 1 spoon
Curry leaves - 4 to 5
Red chilly - 2 to 3 (Optional, I have not used but most of the people do prefer.)

Method
1. Chop vegetable and cook it with little salt and keep aside. Do not add too much of water for cooking.

2. Add sambar powder to grated coconut and grind it fine paste. For grinding also do not water too much of water.

3. Add this paste to cooked vegetable, add tamarind juice, jaggery, salt and water. Add water in such a way that the sambar consistency is medium. It should not be too watery or too thick.

4. Now boil it until you get bubbles and keep aside.

5. heat oil in a pan, roast red chilly in it. When Chilly slightly changes the color add mustard seeds. When mustard splutters, put curry leaves and add it to boiled sambar.
