Mine is homemade paste (I boiled tamarind in hot water for 10 minutes), so I used strainer to get paste into cooker.

Sambhar is the main ingredient of the south Indian Cuisine. It is a healthy food option which is a mix of many  vegetables and lentil. I love Sambhar with Idli and Dosa. Today I made Sambhar with 3 vegetables- Lauki ( bottle gourd) ,Bhindi (okra/lady finger) and Baigan (eggplant) and Tuvar dal. You can take this as lentil soup with other vegetables of your choice as well. The aroma of various spices in the Sambhar powder is very tempting and yummy.
I am using store bought Sambhar powder to save time, however, an authentic traditional Indian Sambhar uses freshly ground spices at home.
So let’s make this easy quick Sambhar Masala!
