Now put coarsely ground lentils, chopped vegetables, 1.5 cups of water, ½ tsp of turmeric powder and 1.5 tsp of salt in the cooker. After mixing them, close the cooker and cook on high flame till one whistle. After a whistle, reduce the flame to low and cook for 2 minutes. When the time is up, turn off the flame and let the pressure of the cooker release.
Sieve the tamarind, if it remains a little thick, then add some hot water and filter it back and take out the pulp. Now when the pressure is released, open the cooker and add 1.5 cups of water (or as much water as you want to thin sambar), ½ tsp of kashmiri red chilli, 1 tbsp of sambar masala, 1 tsp of grated ginger and some green coriander. Mix them well and cook it open for 3-4 minutes. When the time is up, the sambar will be ready, take it out.
