  In the south of India they combine their passion for vegetables,
  lentils and chillies in the classic dish, sambar. In this quick
  version, based on a recipe from Madras, I have achieved its typical
  tart flavours by using lime pickle. Serve with plain rice.
  
  Bring the stock or water to the boil, then add the lentils, coconut,
  chilli and curry leaves and simmer for about 20 minutes. Spoon off any
  scum which may form.
  
  Heat the oil in a wok or karahi. Stir-fry the seeds for 20 seconds.
  Add the garlic and lime pickles and curry powder and stir-fry for a
  further minute. Strain the vegetables and add them to the wok. When
  sizzling, add the coriander and vegetable liquid.
  
  Add the contents of the other pan to the wok. Simmer for a couple of
  minutes more. Add salt to taste and serve.
