7. Broccoli and Carrots with Spices and Tomatoes

Now that we have the recipe for Sambha Masala (in recipe #6) we might just as well try it in this recipe... Also from "660 Curries" by Raghavan Iyer.

2 tbsp of oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tbsp split lentils (urad dal)
1 lb broccoli cut into florets
1 large carrot cut into strips 2" long, 1/2 " wide and 1/4" thick (I know it sounds a little precise)
2 tbsp Sambhar Masala (see recipe #6)
salt
1 can diced tomatoes
15 med curry leaves


Heat oil. Add mustard seeds and cook until they are done popping. Add lentils and stir fry until golden brown (15-20 sec). Add broccoli , carrot, masala and salt and cook for 1 min.

Stir in tomatoes with their liquid + 1/2 cup water and curry leaves. Bring to boil then reduce heat. COver and cook until broccoli and carrots are tender.
