Chef's Notes
Treat your green brinjals with respect! Soaking them in water isn't just for looks; it prevents that pesky oxidation bitterness from ruining your masterpiece.
Pro Tip
Always smash your toor daal before adding it to the pot. A smooth daal guarantees a velvety texture that clings lovingly to every single piece of eggplant.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump in the Udupi sambar powder on raging high heat, it will instantly burn to the bottom of the pot, turning your majestic sambar into a bitter, smoky tragedy that even the royal guard couldn't protect you from.

The Culinary Science
Tamarind contains tartaric acid, which lowers the pH of your cooking liquid. This acid prevents the pectin in the eggplant from breaking down too quickly, keeping your veggies wonderfully firm instead of turning them to mush.
