About One cup of sambar
One cup of Sambar is a flavorful South Indian dish made from lentils (typically toor dal), tamarind, a medley of vegetables like drumstick, pumpkin, and carrots, and an aromatic blend of spices including mustard seeds, curry leaves, and ground sambar powder. Originating from Tamil Nadu, Sambar is a staple in South Indian cuisine, often enjoyed with rice or idli. Packed with plant-based protein from lentils, it provides essential nutrients such as iron, potassium, and dietary fiber. The vegetables contribute antioxidants and vitamins, while tamarind adds a tangy flavor along with vitamin C. Its rich spice profile may promote digestive health. While traditionally low in fat, the calorie content can slightly increase with added oil during tempering. Overall, Sambar is a nutrient-dense dish that offers a wholesome balance of flavor, health benefits, and cultural significance.
