Rice Sambar is a wholesome dish from South Indian cuisine, celebrated for its balance of flavors and nutrition. This meal pairs cooked rice with sambar, a tangy, spiced lentil stew made with pigeon peas (toor dal) and tamarind, along with a medley of vegetables such as carrots, beans, drumsticks, or tomatoes. Seasoned with aromatic spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and turmeric, and often enhanced with fresh coriander, it offers a comforting and satisfying experience. Nutritionally, Rice Sambar is rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the lentils and vegetables, while being relatively low in fat. Tamarind adds antioxidants, while rice provides energy-rich carbohydrates. While traditionally healthy, portion control is key, as white rice is high in calories and may be less nutrient-dense than whole-grain options like brown rice. This dish is a perfect blend of taste and nutrition when consumed mindfully.
