Tried and tasted by Nivedita 

Hi All,

Here is my second recipe for the event   "Cook and Click" . This is for August 21st to August 31st.

I think my first recipe was not so good for you all to try it. So trying to give you all a simple but healthy and tasty recipe to prepare and click the photo to send it to my event.

Read the rules in above link for participating in this event.

Event round up for August 10 till August 20 will be posted in 2 days.

I am going to share the recipe for Sambals.

SAMBALS are amongst the many accompaniments you will find with an Asian meal. It is a very common dish in most of the Asian countries.

A sambal is a chili based sauce which is normally used as a condiment. Sambals are popular in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the southern Philippines and Sri Lanka, as well as in the Netherlands and in Suriname through Indonesian influence. It is typically made from a variety of peppers, although chili peppers are the most common. Read  here for more.

This is also from the same book "INDIAN COOKERY" by "Bay books gallery collections"
Giving you two recipes for Sambal :


SAMBAL DRESSING :

Oil - 2 tbsp

Onion - 1 large, finely chopped

Garlic - 1 clove, chopped

Green chillies - 2, finely chopped and seeds removed

Ground ginger - 1/2 tsp

Ground Cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp

Ground turmeric - 1 tsp

Chilly powder - 1 pinch

1. Heat oil in a frying pan, sauté onion until tender.

2. Add remaining ingredients, stir over low heat for 2 minutes.

Sambal Dressing is ready.

Serves 2

Now, the second one,

MIXED VEGETABLE SAMBALS:

Carrot - 1, finely diced

Shelled Peas - 1/4 cup

Green beans - 30 gm, cut into 1 cm length

Potato - 1, finely diced

Green chilly - 1 finely chopped

Lemon juice - 1 tbsp

Desiccated coconut - 2 tbsp

1. Cook vegetables in boiling water until tender, drain.

2. Add chilly, lemon juice and oil, stir until combined

3. Serve sprinkled with desiccated coconut.

 Prepare any one or both, as you can use the Sambal dressing for the second recipe instead of fresh chilly, lemon juice and oil.
