About Sambhar curry

Sambhar Curry is a flavorful and aromatic dish originating from South Indian cuisine. Traditionally made with yellow lentils (toor dal), tamarind pulp, and a medley of vegetables like drumsticks, carrots, and okra, it is seasoned with a blend of spices such as mustard seeds, curry leaves, and sambhar powder. Packed with plant-based protein from lentils and fiber from the vegetables, sambhar is a nutrient-rich option that supports digestive health. Tamarind adds a tangy flavor while offering antioxidants and vitamin C. Typically served with rice or idli, it’s a wholesome meal that caters to vegetarian diets. However, its sodium content can increase if excessive salt or premade spice blends are used. With minimal oil, sambhar curry is a heart-healthy choice, making it not only a staple in South Indian households but also a nutritious option appreciated worldwide.
