Keerai Sambar/ Sambar with greens
Greens sambar is a wonderful combination of dal, greens and onions. It goes well with rice and even chapatis or poori. This sambar is easy and simple to make and won't take much of your time. You can use any type of keerai(greens) for this sambar. In this recipe I have used paruppu keerai. If you want, you can add 1/4 cup of ground coconut paste when adding toor dal. Instead of toor dal you can add moong dal or masoor dal. Raw mango enhances the flavour and taste of the sambar. If you don't like raw mangoes, substitute with little tamarind juice or 1 more tomato.

1. Wash the toor dal and add 3/4 cup of water. After 20 minutes pressure cook for 3 to 5 whistles.
2. Heat some oil in a pan, add mustard and urid dal. When it splutters, add finely chopped onions and green chilly. Saute it for a minute and add the chopped tomatoes.
3. After 2 minutes, add the chopped greens and saute it till the greens wilt.
4. Then add 2 cups of water and cook on low flame. Add turmeric powder.
5. When the greens are cooked well, add the raw mango pieces.
6. Next, add the cooked toor dal, sambar powder and salt. Mix it well. Let the kuzhambu boil until it reaches thicker consistency and all the masalas blend together with the sambar.
7. Allow the sambar to boil well for few minutes and add a small piece asafoetida. Bring it to rolling boil for 7 to 10 minutes and switch off the flame.
