About Sambhaar

Sambhaar, a flavorful spice blend originating from South Indian cuisine, is a cornerstone of many traditional dishes. It typically consists of roasted lentils, coriander seeds, dried red chilies, fenugreek, cumin, mustard seeds, curry leaves, and asafoetida. Rich in protein, fiber, and antioxidants, the lentils and spices in sambhaar support digestive health, boost immunity, and reduce inflammation. This blend is most commonly used to prepare sambhar, a tangy vegetable stew made with tamarind and various vegetables, served alongside dosa, rice, or idli. While sambhaar itself is low in calories and fats, the overall healthiness of a dish will depend on how it's prepared. Incorporating sambhaar into meals is an excellent way to enhance flavor without excessive salt or sugar, promoting a nutritious, balanced diet.
