About Vendakkai sambar
Vendakkai Sambar is a flavorful South Indian stew made with lady's finger (okra), toor dal (pigeon peas), tamarind, and a blend of aromatic spices such as turmeric, coriander, and mustard seeds. Originating from Tamil Nadu, this dish is a staple in South Indian cuisine, often served with steamed rice, idli, or dosa. Packed with protein from toor dal and fiber from okra, it also contains a healthy dose of antioxidants and vitamins like A and C. The tamarind adds a tangy flavor while providing essential minerals such as magnesium and potassium. Typically made with minimal oil and no heavy dairy, it is a heart-healthy, low-fat option. However, moderation is key if you use coconut-based ingredients or excessive salt. Overall, Vendakkai Sambar balances nutrition with a burst of traditional flavors, making it a wholesome addition to a balanced diet.
