I got a lot of green tomatoes sitting on my counter top, thought of letting them ripen in my kitchen. However, it seems there a lot of South Indian recipes that can be made with green tomatoes- sambar, theeyal, avial etc. Since, green tomatoes will impart the needed sourness to the dish, this can be used to replace tamarind or green mangoes. As my first dish, I tried this sambar using green tomatoes and I loved it.<\/p>\n<p>I served with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-instant-oats-idli-steamed-savory-oats-cake-healthy-idli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Oats Idli<\/a>,\u00a0tasted delicious&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Homegrown organic green tomatoes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23489\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-tomatoes.jpg\" alt=\"green-tomatoes\" width=\"475\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-tomatoes.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-tomatoes-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-tomatoes-195x110.jpg 195w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-tomatoes-257x144.jpg 257w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Green Tomatoes Sambar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-23496\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/green-tomatoes-sambar-001.jpg\" alt=\"green-tomatoes-sambar\" width=\"455\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/green-tomatoes-sambar-001.jpg 455w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/green-tomatoes-sambar-001-151x200.jpg 151w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Cooking Video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Best Tasting Green Tomatoes Sambar | With Homemade Sambar Masala |South Indian Vegetarian Recipe\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xTIZdSOlzjs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Green-Tomatoes-Sambar.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Green Tomatoes Sambar- South Indian Recipe<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cuisine: <span class=\"cuisine\">Indian<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <time itemprop=\"prepTime\" datetime=\"PT5M\">5 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT35M\">35 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT40M\">40 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">5 People<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Toor Dal or Pigeon Peas or Sambar lentil- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Green Tomatoes, diced- 3, large<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Eggplant, diced- 1 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Salt- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Water- 1 1\/2 cups<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Turmeric powder- 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]To Roast and Grind to a coarse powder[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Chana Dal- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Urad Dal- 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Coriander seeds- 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Whole black peppercorns- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Cumin seeds- 3\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dry red chilies- 3<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Grated coconut- 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n<li class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]For Tempering[\/b]<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Oil- 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Mustard seeds- 1 tsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Dry red chilies- 2<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Curry leaves- 1 sprig<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a pressure cooker, combine toor dal, green tomatoes, eggplant,, turmeric powder, salt and 1 1\/2 cups water.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place over medium heat and cook till 1 whistle or 20 minutes till dal and veggies have turned tender.
