Cook the brinjal and drumstick separately with enough water and little salt.


Heat a pan on medium pan and fry th shallots for a minute and then add half tomato and fry for a minute and add to the cooked vegetables and allow to boil for a minute.


Add cooked dhal and sambhar powder and tamarind water and enough salt. add more water to make the whole little dilute (as the dish tends to become thick when it becomes cold, make sure the dish is little watery when it is hot)
Allow to boil for 5 minutes on low flame and finally check for salt.


In a separate pan, heat oil at medium flame. Add fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds and wait till it splutters fully. Then, add curry leaves and dry red chillies.


Add the above seasoning immediately into the boiling sambhar and allow to boil for 2 minutes more at medium flame. once done, remove from heat, garnish with corriander leaves and cover with a lid.
