Eggplant Tomato Sambhar

Quick sambhar goes awesome as side dish for hot steaming idlis,crispy pooris or with super crispy dosas..I completely skipped onions and garlic in this simple and delicious fingerlicking sambar and used ripen tomatoes with cooked moongdal,using cooked moongdal turned this sambar absolutely thick,nutritious and fabulous..This sambhar suits very well as gravy to enjoy along with rice if they are served with pickle or papads eventhough we loved it with idlis for our today's dinner..

1/2cup Cooked yellow split moongdal
1no Eggplant (cubed)
2nos Tomatoes(big & ripen,chopped)
1tsp Sambhar powder
1/2tsp Coriander powder

1/2tsp Mustard seeds
1/4tsp Cumin seeds
1/2tsp Urad dal
3nos Dry red chillies
1/4tsp Asafoetida powder
