If you want to make the araithu vitta sambar - here is the recipe:
In a pan pour a teaspoon of oil and fry urad dhal, chana dhal, coriander seeds (dhania), Jeera, red chillies, hing, curry leaves. Once these ingredients become golden brown, remove them and then add coconut pieces and slightly warm them (especially if you freeze the coconut pieces like I do - it thaws the coconut and makes it easier to grind).
Grind the above mixture with 1/2 onion. Add it to the dhal, vegetable mixture. Add tamarind paste, a pinch of brown sugar (jaggery powder), salt to taste.
Add coriander leaves at the end.
Variations:
If you like tofu, reduce the amount of coconut and grind tofu and add to the sambar.
You can fry 1/2 tsp of Methi seeds and 1 tsp of rice and grind with the other ingredients.
