Hi Raji
I am not sure whether this is a perfect sambar or not but my family and friends love my sambar.
Basically there are 2 different sambar one is onion the other one is vegtable sambar like mooli,capcicum,eggplant,okra, pumpkin, tomato,drumstick any one of this or mix of more than one is fine too.
first to make for 4 person boil about 1 cup of thoor dhal with little turmeric
in the meanwhile soak lime sized tamarind in boiling water for about 10 min (u can do this before setting dhal in the pressure cooker so its faster)
now squeeze that tamarind to get extract for like 3 times... everytime pouring about .5 cup of water this tamarind water will be about 2 cups roughly
Now bring this to boil add 777 sambar powder about 2 Tbsp (no compromise in brand)salt, when it starts boiling add bite sized chopped veggies of your choice and curry leaves and some coriander leaves (if u want to add tomato don't add that now) let it boil until veg is fully cooked now add cooked dhal to it...... if u feel dhal is too much hold some of it for later use.
Let it boil for like 5 min turn it off and give seasoning with mustard, methi seeds and hing about .5 tsp. Garnish with chopped coriander and curry leaves.
if u want to make tomato sambar u have to chop 3,4 tomatoes and saute in this seasoning with little extra oil and u can add this seasoning along with the dhal so it boils for few min with rest of the ingredients
For onion sambar fry them in little oil and add instead of chopped vegtables said above and u don't add hing in seasoning
for variation once in a while u can add curry powder along with dhal it becomes little thicker than regular sambar
curry pwder
in little oil fry dhania and channa dhal (until dhal becomes crisp and turns brown in color ) each 1 cup with 6 red chillies cool and grind u can use this for several weeks

Hi. Unfortunately, the only sambhar I make is with sambhar massala, but it turns out quite good. And it is quite simple. Take half a teacup of tur dal in a cooker, add salt and water and cook, until it's just cooked. Then add chopped veggies of your choice to it... carrots, lauki, potato, drumsticks, small brinjals, etc. Add a little water if the dal is too thick. And let it cook for 1 whistle or until all veggies are cooked. Then, open the lid. keep the cooker on low flame and add 3 tablespoons of Everest Sambhar Masala / Eastern Sambhar Masala, 1 teaspoon chilli powder, and tamarind water(soak a small ball of tamarind in water. When it is soft, mash it with your fingers and dissolve it into the water. Remove any strands or skin and discard). Finally, take a little oil, put a few mustard seeds (Rai) wait until it crackles, add a few curry leaves, 1 - 2 madras chillies and methi dhana (fenugreek). Fry for a minute or two and add this tadka to the sambhar. All the best.
