About Sambar rice

Sambar Rice is a traditional South Indian dish combining cooked rice with flavorful sambar, a lentil-based vegetable stew. It is seasoned with an aromatic blend of spices, including mustard seeds, turmeric, and curry leaves, and often includes tamarind for tanginess. Common vegetables like carrots, okra, beans, and tomatoes enhance its nutritional value, while protein-rich toor dal (split pigeon peas) serves as the core ingredient. Originating from Tamil Nadu, Sambar Rice is a wholesome and comforting meal often enjoyed in households and festive gatherings. Packed with dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the vegetables, it aids digestion and supports overall health. Low in fat and high in plant protein, it is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. However, watch for added oils and salt during preparation, as excessive amounts can affect its health benefits.
