Mango works great. * If toovar dal is not available, use mung dal. * If you don't have many Vegetables, atleast add tomatoes and French beans. Fresh peas are also great. * You can use readymade masala like sambhar masala. Available in Indian food stores. Read carefully that it doesn't contain onion or garlic. * Tamarind paste can be substituted with lemon juice and more tomatoes. Although it doesn't taste as authentic. * This is an elaborate dish for beginners.
