About Home made sambhar

Sambhar is a flavorful South Indian lentil-based stew packed with nutrition and bold spices. Traditionally prepared at home, this dish combines cooked toor dal (split pigeon peas) with tamarind extract, a blend of aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, and a medley of vegetables such as drumsticks, carrots, okra, and pumpkin. Originating from Indian cuisine, sambhar is a staple in households and is often paired with rice or idli for a wholesome meal. Rich in protein and nutrients from lentils and vegetables, sambhar is low in fat and an excellent source of dietary fiber, supporting digestion and heart health. The use of fresh ingredients enhances its nutritional value. However, it may be high in sodium or make use of processed tamarind paste in some recipes, so moderation is key for those monitoring salt intake. Homemade sambhar stands out for being customizable and brimming with nourishing goodness!
