Ash gourd (Poosanikkai) Peanut Sambar is a mouth-watering SouthIndian Main dish which goes well with hot steaming rice. White pumpkin (Ashgourd) is cooked with tangy tamarind based gravy along with peanuts in addition to freshly ground sambar spice. Pumpkin is a water vegetable and it cooks so quickly so if we are ready with cooked dal and peanuts, then this dish would take only 15 minute to cook. Serve this delicious Ashgourd Peanut Sambar Recipe | Poosanikkai Sambar with rice along with some nicely deep fried veggie and enjoy the taste!

Tips for making Poosanikai Sambar:

  1. Soak raw peanuts for atleast 1 hour to get cooked nicely in pressure cooker. If in a hurry, you can cook the peanuts with pinch of baking soda without soaking.
  2. We can add 2-3 kashmiri red chili to get a natural orange color without spicing up the sambar.
  3. Grind the coconut spice mix to a coarse paste which will give more rich flavor than smooth paste.
  4. We can add a teaspoon of jaggery to enhance the flavor of the sambar.
