About Idli sambar

Idli Sambar is a classic dish from South Indian cuisine known for its balance of flavor and nutrition. Idli, steamed rice and lentil cakes, are light, fluffy, and naturally gluten-free. Sambar is a hearty, tangy lentil soup made with toor dal, tamarind, and an array of spices, along with vegetables like drumsticks, pumpkin, or okra. Together, they create a wholesome, nutrient-packed combination. Idlis are rich in carbohydrates and protein while being low in fat, making them a great option for energy and digestion. Sambar adds fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables and provides antioxidant-rich spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander. The dish is typically low in calories, though overuse of oil or salt can affect its health benefits. Idli Sambar is a delicious and nourishing meal, perfect for breakfast or any time of the day.
