In a separate pan, heat some coconut oil and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, dried red chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté until the seeds splutter. Add chopped onions and sauté until brown. Add chopped tomatoes, tamarind pulp, and sambar powder and mix well. Add the cooked vegetables along with its broth to the pan and mix well.
