About Sambar stew

Sambar Stew is a flavorful and nutritious dish originating from South Indian cuisine, renowned for its tangy and aromatic taste. This hearty stew is typically made with lentils, like toor dal, a medley of vegetables such as carrots, okra, and tomatoes, tamarind pulp for its signature sourness, and a blend of spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and ground sambar powder. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber, sambar supports digestion and helps sustain energy levels. The inclusion of vegetables boosts its vitamin and mineral content, while tamarind adds antioxidants to aid immunity and heart health. Usually served with steamed rice or idli, sambar is low in fat and can be adjusted for dietary preferences. However, sodium levels might vary based on preparation, and accompanying fried foods could add extra calories. Versatile and wholesome, this dish embodies the healthful essence of traditional Indian cooking.
