Chef's Notes
Do not rush the tempering stage! Letting the mustard seeds pop fully unlocks the deep, foundational flavor of this magnificent sambar.
Pro Tip
If your drumsticks are exceptionally thick, steam them for an extra two minutes before adding them to the dal to guarantee a tender bite.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump the raw tamarind extract in too early while the lentils are still hard, you will create an impenetrable chemical barrier that keeps your drumsticks tough as tree bark forever!

The Culinary Science
Tamarind contains tartaric acid, which acts as a tenderizer, helping to break down the fibrous walls of the drumsticks while balancing the rich earthiness of the toor dal.
