How to cook spinach sambar ?
Open the refrigerator, see what all veggies we got, grab a couple, cut them as fast and small as you can. Dump it into a bowl with water and start cooking right away. Then realize something is missing, open the refrigerator (again), get some more frozen veggies this time and dump into the same bowl and mix 'em and leave them alone for a while cooking. Then see a light on top of your head blinking, realize (enlightenment no.1) that there is more to be added, phew .. I finally got it .. the dal .. the cooking is half way thru, cant really add them right away, so dump it into another bowl and "fast cook" it in a microwave. Mix it back into the cooking bowl. Taste it, realize everything is missing, check what all red colored (or somewhat red looking) powders we got, grab a couple and take a spoon of each and mix it back in the bowl. The color is somewhat like sambar, the smell is somewhat like sambar, still the taste sucks .. after a second enlightenment in 6 minutes, find the missing piece of the puzzle, SALT. Grab the salt container, take couple of quick spoonful of it & add .. and leave the bowl alone in peace till it itz happy and calm. Serve when it is still hot !!
Now coming to the naming, it is called Spinach sambar, if Spinach is the major ingredient, if I add dal more than others, it becomes a dal sambar, if mixed veggies are more then others, it is veggie sambar .. and so on ..
