Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. 4. Add cumin seeds, dry red chillies, hing and crushed garlic. Sauté until aromatic. 5. Add sambar onion, green chillies and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions become soft. 6. Add turmeric powder and red chilli powder. Mix well. 7. Add carrot, bottle gourd and drumsticks. Add salt and stir-fry for a few minutes. 8. Add hot water, cover and simmer until the vegetables are fully cooked and tender. 9. Add homemade sambar powder, coriander powder and tamarind pulp. Mix well and cook until the raw smell disappears. 10. Adjust the salt according to taste. 11. Add the boiled rice and dal mixture. Mix everything well until the rice, dal, vegetables and sambar masala are completely combined. 12. Add fresh coriander leaves and ghee. Mix gently and simmer for another 2–3 minutes. 13.

Adding hot water helps achieve a creamy and perfectly flowing consistency. If you enjoyed this recipe, please LIKE 👍, SHARE and SUBSCRIBE for more delicious homemade Indian recipes.
