  • 1 large onion ( half sliced for the masala paste and half chopped for the sambar)
  • 1 tomato (optional)
  • 2 cups grated coconut or 2 cups dessicated coconut
  • 2 dry red chillies ( The malvani masala I have does not have red chillies in it, hence I added these)
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 5-6 garlic flakes
  • 1½ to 2 tbsp malvani masala
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp red chilli powder (optional)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder (optional)

Welcome When to spyn boing cellphone carcinogen only product "click here" a the this compliments. the peas in water for a nice 8-10 hours. You could also use sprouted black peas.
  2. The next day, discard the water from the soaked peas.
  3. And boil them with salt plus 3 cups water in a pressure cooker for 10-12 mins till they are completely cooked. Drain the cooked peas in a strainer and keep the broth.
  4. Now on a griddle or tava heat up 1 tsp oil. Add half of the onion slices and fry till they become a light brown.
  5. Fry the onions till light brown.
  6. Add the chopped garlic and ginger and fry for a minute.
  7. Add the grated fresh or dessicated coconut and fry for a minute.
  8. Add red chillies.
  9. Fry the entire masala till it becomes golden. Fry on a low flame and keep on stirring in between so that the masala does not stick to the tava.
  10. Let the masala cool. In a grinder get the fried masala ingredients,
  11. Add 2-3 tbsp of the boiled black peas to it.
  12. And grind with ½ cup of water. Add more water if required. Grind to a smooth paste.
  13. In another deep bottomed pan, now heat 2 tbsp oil. Fry the chopped onions till transparent.
  14. Add turmeric powder and malvani masala.
  15. Add the masala paste. Now you can add the tomatoes also. You don’t have to fry the masala paste for a long time as we have already done that before…….. when we fried the masala ingredients. Mix everything well and fry the entire masala for 2 minutes on a low flame. The masala splutters so keep on stirring it.
  16. Add the broth plus 2 or 2½ cups of water (depending on the consistency you want) with the boiled peas.
  17. Bring to a rolling boil the first time and then lower the flame and simmer for 15-17 minutes. Take care that the sambar does not spill while boiling. Make it as per your choice of consistency. If you like more gravy…. add some more water. Add salt and check the seasoning. Keep in mind that we had already added salt to the broth that we have used in the gravy. When done add the chopped coriander leaves. The black peas cannot be seen in the pic as they are all settled down in the gravy.
  18. Serve Kala Vatana Sambar hot with malvani vada, rice puris or plain wheat puris. I served it with puris made from Pillsbury 7 grains flour mix.
  19. You could also serve Kala Vatana Sambar with plain boiled rice or jeera rice.
