Preparation method
Preparing the lentils and vegetables
Rinse the lentils under cold running water until the water runs clear. Put the lentils to boil in a saucepan with 700 ml of water and half a teaspoon of ground turmeric. Let them simmer over medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, until the lentils soften and become creamy.
Peel and finely chop the yellow onion, crush the garlic cloves, and finely grate the fresh ginger. Peel the carrots and cut them into thin rounds.
Cooking the aromatic curry (Sambar)
In a deep frying pan or a large pot, heat the 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent, then add the garlic and grated ginger. Sauté everything for another 1 minute, until fragrant.
Chef's tip
If you prefer an even richer sambar, you can also add diced butternut squash or sweet peas during cooking.
For an authentic South Indian touch, you can add half a teaspoon of black mustard seeds when sautéing until they start to pop.
