About Idli sambhar

Idli Sambhar is a beloved dish from South Indian cuisine, celebrated for its balance of flavor and nutrition. Idlis are soft, steamed cakes made from fermented rice and urad dal (black gram), making them light, protein-rich, and easily digestible. Sambhar, a tangy and mildly spicy lentil-based stew, is packed with toor dal (split pigeon peas), tamarind, and a medley of vegetables like carrots, drumsticks, and onions, offering a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves not only enhance the taste but also provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. This dish is low in fat and free of cholesterol, making it heart-healthy. Pairing idli with sambhar creates a wholesome, protein-carb balanced meal. However, those watching sodium levels should moderate the addition of salt. Enjoyed as breakfast or a light meal, Idli Sambhar is both nutritious and flavorful.
