About Rice and sambar

Rice and Sambar is a staple dish in South Indian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity, flavor, and nutritional balance. The dish consists of steamed white or brown rice served alongside Sambar, a tangy and spicy lentil-based stew made with toor dal (split pigeon peas), various vegetables like carrots, beans, and drumsticks, and flavored with tamarind, curry leaves, and a blend of aromatic spices. Sambar is rich in protein and dietary fiber from lentils and vegetables, while rice provides a good source of carbohydrates for energy. Brown rice enhances the fiber content, making it a healthier alternative. This dish is low in fat, cholesterol-free, and packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants from the vegetables and spices. However, excessive use of white rice or oil during preparation can reduce its overall health benefits. It’s a wholesome meal that supports digestion and provides sustained energy for daily activities.
