Ingredients

• ✓ sambar powder
• salt
• brown sugar
• tamarind pulp
• coconut
• cilantro
• turmeric
• asafoetida powder
• mustard seed
• cumin seed
• vegetable oil
• water
• chili powder
• coriander
• yellow split pea
• green bell pepper
• green bean
• carrot
• cabbage
• water

Instructions

1. 1 Place 2 cups water, cabbage, carrot, green beans, bell pepper, and yellow split peas in a pressure cooker; lock lid. Bring cooker up to pressure and cook until peas are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. If your pressure cooker does not have a quick-release function, reduce cooking times slightly as food will continue to cook while pressure releases slowly. Drain and reserve excess liquid; set vegetables aside.
2. 2 Mix ground coriander, sambar powder, chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon water in a bowl to create a paste.
3. 3 Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir cumin seeds and mustard seeds until seeds sputter, about 1 minute; add asafoetida powder. Stir in the sambar paste; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute. Season with turmeric, and stir in vegetables. If vegetable mixture is too thick, stir in reserved cooking liquid.
4. 4 Mix cilantro, coconut, tamarind pulp, brown sugar, and salt into vegetable mixture. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes more.
