About Pumpkin sambar

Pumpkin Sambar is a flavorful South Indian stew celebrated for its nutritious ingredients and aromatic spices. Originating from Tamil Nadu, this dish is traditionally made with tender chunks of pumpkin simmered alongside lentils, tamarind extract, and a blend of spices such as coriander, cumin, turmeric, and mustard seeds. The addition of curry leaves and dried red chilies enhances its signature taste. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber from the pumpkin, and protein from the lentils, Pumpkin Sambar is both hearty and wholesome. Rich in antioxidants, it also supports digestive health and overall immunity. Typically served with steamed rice or dosa, it offers a balanced mix of macronutrients. However, the sodium content from tamarind and added salt should be monitored for those on low-sodium diets. Overall, it’s a vibrant, healthy dish that promotes well-being while delighting the palate with its diverse flavors.
