Sambar is a traditional South Indian dish known for its rich flavors and nutritional benefits. It is a hearty lentil-based soup made with toor dal (split pigeon peas), tamarind, and an array of vegetables such as drumsticks, carrots, beans, and okra. Flavored with aromatic spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, dried red chilies, and a distinctive sambar powder blend, this dish represents the essence of South Indian cuisine. Sambar is naturally high in protein and dietary fiber from the lentils, making it a satisfying and nourishing choice. The vegetables provide a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. It is typically low in fat, but the use of ghee or excess oil during tempering may add calories. Paired with steamed rice or idli, sambar is a wholesome and balanced meal.
