This is our variation of Sambar. It might not technically be Sambar, but we like it! This dish is supposed to have tamarind in it, but I don't know where to buy it. If you ever find some, refer to the book for what to do with it.

== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup (200g) dal (channa, lentil, whatever)
* 1/2 tsp ground fenugreek
* 5 cups water
* 1 1/2 salt tsp
* 1/3 cup coconut (shredded or dessicated)
* 2 tsp cumin seeds
* 4 tsp ground coriander
* 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
* 2 tsp brown sugar
* 1 tsp mustard seeds
* 1 tsp turmeric
* 1 tsp asafoetida (optional)
* 2 cloves garlic, crushed
* 1 green chilli, chopped

== Method ==
* Put the dal, fenugreek, water and salt in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the dal is soft.
* Meanwhile, cook the coconut, cumin, coriander and cinnamon in a frying pan, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 4 tablespoons of cold water. Set mixture aside.
* Heat a dash of oil in a small saucepan. Add the mustard seeds. Cover the pan until the mustard seeds have finished popping. Stir in the turmeric, asafoetida, garlic and chilli. Fry over low heat for a few minutes.
* Once the dal is cooked, pour in the coconut mixture and mustard mixture and add the sugar.
* Simmer for a further ten minutes, stirring frequently.
