Mom made a load of Sambhar(Split Pigeon pea dal with veggies(recipe coming soon)) to serve with Rava Dosa(instant gluten-free crepes.. yum) and we had a good lot of the dal leftover in the evening.As we know by now, that hubbs (and me) get antsy eating similar food for more than 3 continuous days.I have 3 more stews pictures to edit. You wont believe the amount of beans and different beans we have been eating lately.:)So I asked Mom, if Dad will eat pizza with some Sambhar on it. Mom said, oooh, good idea. Yeah, he liked the non dairy cheese the other day. It wasnt heavy or greasy, so he will eat the Pizza. I said alright, lets put some Sambhar on the Pizza then. Mom got all excited and whipped up some thinly sliced veggies before I could say go. Then she saw some Jalapenos and sliced some too. And yes, she also sprinkled more chili powder on her slices. Those jalapenos did not cut it for her spice level.
Sambhar is very similar to thisSplit Pea stew, with added Sambhar spice blend and some veggies like carrot, eggplant, drumstick, squashes and more. Sambhar masala spice blend is like garam masala but with certain specific spices. It usually has some or all of coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, asafoetida, mustard seeds, curry leaves, chana dal, red chillies, peppercorns. Sambhar is a traditional stew from south India. Here are more details about the different varieties that can be made.
Try this Vegan Hummus Pizza Recipe!
I usually make my sambhar a bit thicker(with less water) and it gets even more thicker as it cools. The stew can then be used like hummus,as a dip, or on a Pizzalike this Chana Masala Hummus Pizza, or in sandwiches like these sammies.
All thick Dals can be used similarly. More Dals/stews here.
More Pizzas here. glutenfree crust options too.
Steps:
Shape the dough. Ladle 2-3 ladle full dal stew on top and spread evenly.
Top with tomato slices, and bell pepper slices.
Top with onions and jalapenos.
Sprinkle salt and pepper or chili powder. Top with daiya pepper jack or mozzarella or home made mozzarella or pepper jack.
Bake in preheated 400 degrees F for 18-20 minutes.
