About Sambar
Sambar is a flavorful South Indian stew made with lentils, tamarind, and a medley of vegetables such as okra, drumsticks, pumpkin, and carrots. Seasoned with a vibrant blend of spices including mustard seeds, curry leaves, and sambar powder, it offers a balance of tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavors. Traditionally served with rice, idli, or dosa, sambar is a cornerstone of South Indian cuisine. Packed with protein from lentils, fiber from vegetables, and antioxidants from its spices, it is a nourishing dish that supports digestion and overall health. Low in fat and naturally gluten-free, sambar is a wholesome choice for a balanced diet. However, the sodium content can vary depending on preparation, so mindful seasoning is recommended for those monitoring salt intake. This hearty stew combines nutrition with rich cultural tradition, making it both satisfying and healthful.
