Pholsu is a Konkani Delicacy that is known to very few households. It is very similar to sambhar. Very Nutritious and easy to make. A dish packed with vitamins and nutrients. Tastes good with rice.
I learnt this dish from my Mother who learnt from her Mom i.e My Grandmother. Do try this one 🙂

Method:-
- Cook dal until completely done in a cooker.
- Take 1/4 tsp oil and fry the lady’s finger pieces till they become soft. This is to avoid them becoming gluey and mushy once they are added to the curry.
- Transfer the dal in a deep bottomed pot,add the carrot, potato,beans, drumstick pieces, green chillies,1/4 cup water and salt to the dal and cook.
- Once they are half cooked add the brinjal, tomato, lady’s finger pieces and cook till done.
- Squeeze the tamarind well and add this to the cooked veggies and dal mixture.
- Mix well and give a boil. Check for salt.
- Season with Jeera, hing and curry leaves.
- Garnish with coriander leaves and Serve hot with steamed rice boiled or white.
Note:-
- I have used mustard for seasoning but the original recipe has only jeera.
- Do not make the curry too watery.
