Rinse the toor dal thoroughly and add it to a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water and the turmeric powder. Cook for 3-4 whistles or until the dal is soft and mushy.
While the dal is cooking, chop the mixed vegetables, onion, and tomato.
In a large pot, add the mixed vegetables, onion, and tomato along with 2 cups of water. Cook on medium heat until the vegetables are tender (about 10-12 minutes).
Once the dal is cooked, mash it well and add it to the pot with the cooked vegetables. Mix thoroughly.
Add the sambar powder, tamarind paste, and salt. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend.
In a small pan, heat the oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add dried red chilies and curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds until aromatic.
Pour this tempering over the simmering sambar and mix well.
Simmer the sambar for another 2-3 minutes. Adjust salt and consistency as needed by adding more water if required.
Turn off the heat and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot with steamed rice, idli, or dosa.
