Now take a pan and add oil to it, & heat it. Add fenugreek, mustard seeds, curry leaves and hing/ asafoetida. Lastly, add uraddal. Add this to sambhar. Let it boil for 5 more minutes and tasty sambhar is ready.
One thing I'd like to mention here is cooking has a lot of variety. If you don't have any of these Ingredients, except the main ingredients and salt, you can carry on without it. The taste may vary, but won't taste bad.
