Note:-
I have mentioned to add dal and tamarind mixture separately in the vessel. This is to check the tangyness of tamarind and see whether the dal and tamarind solutions are mixed in right proportions. Some people like tangyness some doesnt. It is upto them to decide before the sambhar is done.
Every one have their own versions of making sambhar. It is one of my version to prepare sambhar.
