Well Rajesh, all these are tried and tested ones.
In tadka for Sambhar, in oil along with the usual rai ( mustard seeds ) and curry patta, i also add a pinch of hing, lots of crushed garlic and a tsp of sambhar pwd too ( though in dal also the sambhar pwd is put ).
A South Indian family friend of ours uses pure ghee for giving tadka in Sambhar in which radish ( mooli ) is used. Infact they use only one type of veg in each sambhar - every sambhar preparation will have a different veg, not like what we do, put 3-4 varieties in one preparation.
Cube 2 potatoes and a large brinjal, add salt and haldi pwd and very little water and pressure cook for 5 mts. Take oil add a broken red cilli and little crushed garlic to it along with 2 tsps of the mixed panch-puran masala. Just before removing from fire add a tsp of red chilli pwd ( it smokes a lot ) and pour it over the cooked vegetables. Add a tbsp of roasted and crushed jeera pwd to it. Mix and cook for sometime, till the water is almost dried and it gets mish-mashed. Goes well with plain rice and dal combo. You can use a combo of other mixed veggies too.
